A new summer juice bomb from Nicola & Daniel at Offbeat!
Produced from Pinot Noir grown by Lucie & Jules at Ham Street, Kent in their first year of biodynamic certification, 2023. Nic & Dan wanted to work the fruit lightly, aiming for a wine of energy and lift.
Whole bunches were macerated in fibreglass tanks for two weeks (low temperatures through harvest keeping things gentle) before fruit was pressed to two old burgundy barrels.
Wanting to capture its freshness, they bottled the wine in early June to the serendipitous radio soundtrack of Hendrix's All Along the Watchtower cover: the hat-tip they needed to bring back a favourite label for another round in a new guise.
Biodynamic certified agriculture, natural fermentation.
