2022 'Gill's Farm' Mourvedre

Good winter rain allowed soil profiles to be full, giving the vines a great start to the growing season. A remarkably cool summer followed, providing perfect conditions for healthy balanced vines. The long ripening period produced fruit with a perfect balance of good colour, high natural acidity, and concentrated flavours. One of the better vintages of the last decade.

Fermented spontaneously in small, closed fermenters using compressed air to gently manage the cap to protect the aromatic qualities of the wine.

Spontaneous fermentation in small closed fermenters. Maturation: 6 months in seasoned French barrique

Medium bodied, plums and cherries follow on from the aroma to provide a fleshy mid palate. Rustic tannins, red fruit and soft acidity balance perfectly to provide an excellent length.

Dark and enticing, reminiscent of Rocky Road. Black plum, morello cherry, dark chocolate and raspberry liqueur on offer. With time crushed rose petals, aniseed and hints of charry oak join the fray.
