How it’s made
Quarry Rise faces away from the afternoon sun, which suits a grape this thin-skinned.
A third of the bunches go into the ferment whole, stems and all, for lift and perfume. The wine then spends ten months in older French barrels, so the fruit leads rather than the oak.
Serve it just below room temperature. It’s lovely young, and better still after three or four years in a cool cupboard.
