The team at Ancre Hill Vineyard aren't just trailblazers for Welsh winemaking but they're also leading the way for organic and biodynamic viticulture and viniculture in the British Isles -a nd they're bloody lovely people too.
Their wines have a bit of cult following and this pétillant naturel ( Pet Nat) is worth snapping up whether you're a natural wine fan or just up for something a bit different. It's made from the curious Triomphe grape and the wine is red, fizzy, juicy, funky and fruity (think a wild, Welsh Lambrusco!) And it's certainly a triumphant tipple!
Ancre Hill take the new vintage's juice and blend it with previous vintage base wines whilst still fermenting. Primary fermentation then finishes in bottle producing a lightly fizzy wine of between 2 and 3 bar pressure.
Drink it chilled at your next house party (we can but dream) or for more relaxed musings with cold cuts or canapés.
