Our Riesling wines are unique in England. To ripen Riesling in the UK’s cool climate to produce a still wine with acids in balance is a real challenge and a great success. The wines are left to mature and soften in bottle for a number of years in temperature controlled storage before being ready for sale. Please note some vintages are half-size bottles (375ml).

The 2020 Riesling is another first, with only 300 bottles available. We left the grapes on the vines as long as possible, picking late in October 2020. It was fermented in oak, which allows some air to come into contact with the wine that took the maturation in an exciting different direction. We fermented to dryness then dosaged and bottled in 2022.

2020 - the wine has subtle oxidative characters and evidence of oak comes through on the nose. The palate shows fresh, sweet citrus fruit and notes of spice wrapped up in a leaner, green fruited acidity that provides refreshment and balance to the sweetness of the wine whilst oxidative notes adds complexity.

Our 2018 vintage was featured on Alan Titchmarsh’s Love your Weekend (ITV - November 2021) and won a bronze medal from the IEWA. It was also featured in a Decanter competition in Tasmania and scored highly, above a number of German Rieslings. There are flavours of peach and mango, with lightly honeyed notes and a hint of creaminess. It is bright in the glass, with well-balanced acidity and sweetness and pairs beautifully with desserts and cheese.
