Our Very First Wine - Silent Pool Rosé
Earlier this week we bottled our first wine which we have called Silent Pool Ros
é. It has been made exclusively from hand-picked organic Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier grapes from our own vineyard. We are delighted with our first effort; our winemaker, Ulrich Hoffmann, describes the wine as elegant and crisp with subtle and fresh summer fruit flavours.
We only have 820 bottles this year so it will be in scarce supply. Next year we hope to have around 5000 bottles.
Silent Pool is a lake of crystal clear water adjacent to the vineyard. Natural filtration leaves the water completely clear with a lovely blue-green colour. According to local legend a beautiful young maiden drowned there, escaping the clutches of King John, and now haunts the Silent Pool.
