A bit of a Rhône vibe this week, so I might as well carry on with this old favourite. 2003 vintage. #wine #rhone #southernrhone #grenache #chateauneufdupape #vieuxtelegraphe

So pleased with this - White Wine of the Year and best Debut release! @sixatmospheres 2022 just in last week and fermenting away in barrel @ItascaWines

We are delighted that Missing Gate Pinot Blanc 2020 won White Wine of the Year.

As a Pinot Blanc fan I hope we get a few more like this! Exciting fruit, brilliantly made by Ben Smith at @ItascaWines

Some pristine Pinot Noir from our Penn Croft vineyard - 100% regeneratively farmed. Very excited to be making our first single vineyard still and sparkling wines @ItascaWines @Penn_Croft

@Penn_Croft Owner Simon Porter says, "most trained viticulturists would describe the vineyard as scruffy", but Simon has experienced that "the public love the story of cover crops, flowers, long grass and all the environmental benefits that go with that". 💚

Like this @Blackbookwinery 👍
