Tillingham Field Blend Two

The Tillingham Domain wines are the very first wines made from grapes grown biodynamically at Tillingham – the culmination of four years of toil and discovery, and an indication of what lies ahead. Only a tiny amount has been made, all in 500ml bottles – they are all extremely, extremely limited! Field Blend One is a blend of six red and white varieties – all were picked on the same day, hand-sorted, destemmed and crushed. They were then co-fermented with 20% whole clusters (all varieties) for five days and pressed into a 500l Stockinger puncheon barrel, then aged for eight months before being racked to stainless steel and bottled. It’s luminescent ruby in colour with notes of pink peppercorn and grapefruit on the nose. Light and linear with a thrilling acidity on the palate. Altogether juicy and joyous.

Grapes: 52% Pinot Noir, 31% Chardonnay, 10% Pinot Gris, 6% Gamay, 1% Chenin Blanc
