LittleBeeWildFermentPinotGris2023Sharpham

A complex and textured ‘orange wine’ made with 100% skin-contact Pinot Gris and produced with minimal intervention from start to finish. The nose has layered aromas of ruby grapefruit, white strawberry, and orange peel, with raspberry and sour stone fruit flavours on the palate supported by soft and grippy tannins, a taut acidity and a long generous finish. (2023 – 10.5% abv)

This wine is part of Sandridge Barton’s new Don’t Feed The Ponies range of more experimental wines, a reference to a campaign on Dartmoor National Park to discourage visitors from feeding the wild horses that roam there. The source of the River Dart begins way up in the heart of the moors, and it’s the river that influences how the estate’s grapes grow. For every bottle purchased from this range, 25p is donated to the Dartmoor Preservation Association to preserve the natural habitat.
