Pruning is well under way in the English vineyard. I only have about 6000 plants left to get done. So far it has been really cold standing out on the hill, quite one of the coldest January and February’s of recent years; I have been snowed off twice which is quite impressive.
The 2020 wines are coming together in bottle nicely, the odd check for Quality Control purposes is proving them delicious. Here we have the Ancestral Method Pink Pinots, a 50/50 blend of Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris that had 10 days of carbonic maceration. 400 bottles produced so not much to go round!
