One of the early supporters of ‘green’ viticulture, viticulturist Simon Grier, has always been a keen supporter of maintaining environmentally friendly vineyard practices. The farm has not sprayed insecticides for the past thirteen years and a flock of 1,000 Peking ducks are responsible for some natural pest control.
The colour of the wine is a brilliant red. The aroma shows hints of wood spice with attractive dark berry fruit. On the palate, the wine is rich and full with juicy soft tannins and good acidity. The wine has a long finish but is drinkable at present. It will, however, mature for up to six years from vintage.
