FROM VINEYARD TO VINTAGE
The winter preceding the 2015 growing season was a cold one which vines tend to enjoy. Spring arrived later than usual with budburst taking place in early April, thankfully avoiding the frosts. Cooler temperatures in August slowed the growing season down, resulting in a slightly later than normal veraison. By harvest time, the fruit was ripe with perfect acids, and we could be incredibly exact on picking dates.
Our Rare Expressions No.19 was grown and harvested at our Roman Villa vineyard in West Sussex.
