2019 Tillingham Qvevri Orange

A very english blend of 25% Bacchus, 25% Müller Thurgau. 25% Madeleine Angevine AND 25% Ortega.
All handpicked & wild fermented in qvevri without adjustment. Each of the four varieties were crushed and destemmed (apart from the Madeleine Angevine, which remained as wholebunches), the amount of skins varied from 100% in the Ortega and Madeleine Angevine, down to 30% in the Müller Thurgau and Bacchus. The time on skins varied anywhere from a month to four months, before pumping out the wine and pressing the skins from the Qvevri. The wines then went into a mixture of old oak barrels and foudre for a further 4 months. The four components were blended into stainless tanks before bottling in small batches by gravity. Unfined and unfiltered.
