Description
Winemaker Adrian’s notes:
“Summer Field is one of my favourite wine styles. With a jewel-like colour, and beautifully fresh acidity from the Chardonnay, the wine is balanced by vibrant strawberry and cherry fruit from the Pinots. A touch of tannin on the finish gives a little black pepper twist.
We created Summer Field because we thought it would be fun to try and make a red wine from the fruit we usually use to make a white traditional method sparkling. It’s a style we have produced iterations of for a few vintages and feel it works really well with our fruit. Look out for further adventures in 2022”.
