In our travels across the South West in 2022, we were fortunate to be introduced to George Price, a fourth-generation fruit grower in Somerset, who farms 1.2 hectares of vines alongside his wife, Ellen.
They are no till, spray no herbicide or insecticide, and have sheep grazing through the vines over winter, before they green mulch extensively in spring, building up organic matter to improve soil health.
Primarily, one brilliant wine is produced from the fruit at Mayland right now: a field blend produced by the esteemed Dave Morris of Mountain People (Wales).
Dave works simply and precisely in the cellar with a hands-off approach that allows fermentations to do the hard work whilst working gently for a delicate, detailed wine.
Only 500 bottles are currently produced each year.

Boasting ripe, generous fruit thanks to the heat-drenched summer of 22: think fresh cherry and macerated strawberry. A versatile, textural light red/juicier rose style we will turn to often through summer.
