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

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

Not currently in production but we are always open to look at different options if that quality stacks up - we will have a Sauvignon Blanc due for release this summer
A very interesting read.
@benjssmith are there any plans to produce a still white blend?
Thank you for the amazing review of our first @Penn_Croft Bacchus (91pts) and Pinot Blanc (92pts) @AnneInVino @ItascaWines
