Slight copper hue indicating 18 hours of skin contact and three months oak ageing on 12% of blend. The nose leads with notes of peach skins before developing into apricot compote. The pronounced stone fruit aromas and profile indicates a warmer vintage for English wine. The silky and lithe palate starts off with abundant soft peach flavours leading to orange peel notes and then lingering yellow plum on the long finish. The wine shows good weight/texture highlighting the use of skin contact and residual sugar, which is balanced by its fresh acidity. The wine is reminiscent of dry Alsatian style Pinot Gris and is a
great example of a varietal driven English still wine.

This is a versatile, food friendly wine that would pair nicely with a variety of dishes, including but not limited
to a tagine, roasted squash and delicate blue cheeses such as Barkham Blue.

This is our first single varietal Still Pinot Gris release since the 2019 vintage.

88% of the fruit was handpicked at the end of September 2025 by our wonderful volunteers
prior to being crushed, destemmed and allowed to soak on their skins for 18 hours before pressing.
12% of the fruit was machine picked, fermented on skins for seven days, then pressed with ferment
finished in tank. This component was aged in oak barrels for three months.

The wine was bottled in February 2026 and released at the end of March 2026.

WHAT THE CRITICS SAY

"Smashing fizz made by the Wagstaffs – we went to the same college at uni. So he must be good. Fresh, lively with a delicious savoury nuttiness."
