Press ReviewPress

4 Stars Highly Recommended. "A remarkable wine and one that seems rich and flavoursome at only 13.1% which just goes to show that this variety can today resemble the great 'Hunter Burgundies' of the previous millennia. With juicy stem and briar notes H&H might seem like a new wave, 'cool' wine, but it is assembled with an age old recipe."

Winemaking

At 200m altitude, the Ablington Vineyard is on a 300 south facing hillside with north to south trellising, planted on sandy loam soils with excellent drainage. 2 days cold soaking prior to inoculation whilst 5% of the stalks were sundried before being added back to ferment. Hand plunged 3 times a day for 10 days in 500L open new French oak fermenters between 25 and 300C. 12 months in new and 1yr old French barrels, racked and returned once after malolactic fermentation. Fined with egg whites then earth filtered, bottled on 28th April 2010. Only 2,082 bottles produced.
