As Tim said 'chuck the screwcap away, you won't need it again' This is the epitome of generosity of fruit, it has such an attractive floral sweet spot on the nose, with fresh raspberry & violets in abundance, I'd go...(read more)

40% whole-bunch fermentation. Basket-pressed with solids to French puncheons (500 litres), 30% of which were new. Racked and returned after six months, then bottled after 12 months without fining or filtering. Mid...(read more)
