Fruit from the Derwent Valley and the North West, picked around between 11 and 12baume. A pétillant naturel made from Riesling (55%), Chardonnay(35%) and Dornfelder (10%).
Jonny explains that the parcels and varietals are picked seperately and but typically for this wine the white varietals are combined as they go through primary ferment, 'stacking the ferment' as he describes. Dornfelder (German variety that was developed to offer thick skin/darker colour wines in marginal climates) is fermented separately at the start to extract the colour then added in, hence the rose/light red colour.
Bottled during primary ferment to capture the bubbles, unfined, unfiltered with no added sulphur. - Hughes & Hughes, Winemaker.
