“You can’t justify a new 2500l Foudre every year Joe” (Lou Holyman, October 2022)

Fermented predominately in a second use Foudre, with the help of 1 new puncheon and 2 one year old puncheons. The grapes are trodden on receival and left for 24 hours to soak on their skins and pulp. They are then pressed straight to oak for the ferment on full solids. Stirred twice a day while fermenting, then left to settle the lees before bottling in August. It doesn’t go through malo as we prefer the fresh natural acid that our climate gives us.

This is quite a generous wine on release for us. There’s some Bosc Pear and cardamon on the nose. The palate has some nice flesh and richness with citrus flavours coming through at the end. It has some tension which I think will give this wine great mouthfeel and power as it develops. – Lou & Joe Holyman, Stoney Rise
