Back Story & Wine Information

It is our vision to improve the lot of our employees by growing our business and thereby providing maximum job opportunities in a market that is desperate for support. We go a step further, we farm sustainably with no herbicides or pesticides, we till by hand, hugely labour intensive, but very satisfying, we prune, thin bunches and leaves all by hand and finally we harvest by hand. This additional employment we hope goes some way to improving the quality of life in our community and we know that if every community looked after their own, no-one would go wanting. This is our proposal, and consequently each bottle is a victory and represents a small change – for the better – in someone’s life.

Pairing
Light Meals: Perfect for salads, grilled chicken, fish, or light summer dishes. Meats: Excellent with cold cuts, salmon, or even a rich, spicy lamb curry. Spicy Dishes: Its fruitiness complements the heat in curries and other spicy foods. Cheeses: A good match for cheese platters, especially softer cheeses. Seafood: Works well with salmon (smoked or cooked) and other fish.
