Hand-picked, destemmed and crushed, 30% whole bunches, small batch open-fermented, 15 days on skins, matured in French puncheons for 15 months. Undoubtedly the most savoury and complex Mistletoe wine from the vintage; there is a combination of black, purple and red fruits (blackberry, plum and cherry) flowing through to the long finish. Drink to 2049.

Hand picked from vines dating to 1965. Lots of whole berries. Open fermented and pressed to French puncheons. Medium bodied and inherently savoury, as the postcode demands. Segueing into middle age. Just. Aromas of malt, terracotta, damson plum and Asian medicine. There is a mulchy undergrowth note to this that is highly attractive, serving to mitigate any stray sweetness. Drink to 2031.
