Sharpham Estate Little Bee Wild Ferment Pinot Gris

Sharpham Estate Little Bee Wild Ferment Pinot Gris - Sharpham Estate Little Bee Wild Ferment Pinot Gris  is an orange wine produced with minimal intervention. From the banks of the River Dart Pinot Gris thrives in a relatively warm microclimate. Essentially a natural wine, the juice spends 3 weeks on skins before wild fermentation. An exciting white which highlights the potential for England to develop its own distinctive styles of classic varietals.

The grapes were hand harvested in October before being removed from the stems and crushed. The juice soaked in contact with the skins for three to four weeks to extract some flavour, colour and tannin before transferring the free run juice into stainless steel where we waited for the fermentation to take place naturally by relying upon wild yeasts.
