THE WREKIN | Chardonnay 2023
100% Hand-picked and gently pressed left to settle, then racked with the desired turbidity inoculated from yeast from ‘The Wrekin’ vineyard, transferred to French barrels with no new oak, and aged for eighteen months of Secondary wild fermentation. No juice clarification. It was bottled without fining or filtration. Bright straw in colour.
THE WREKIN | Pinot Noir 2022
The fruit was hand-picked at 3 different dates to ensure optimum ripeness across the different Pinot Noir clones (667, 777, 115,114, Abel). The grapes were destemmed and gravity fed into open-top fermenters. The juice was inoculated with yeast from ‘The Wrekin’ vineyard. During fermentation a mix of gentle hand plunging, and pump overs occurred. After 18 days on skins the wine was gently pressed and transferred to French oak, where it aged for 14 months. The wine went through 100% malolactic fermentation in early spring before blending and bottling.
