Col Fondo 24 Natural Wine

NATURAL WINE

This is a Col Fondo (an un-disgorged sparkling wine) made from a blend of the three champagne varieties; a fun and textural take on the traditional cuvee. Bottled in re used sparkling wine bottles.

The blend is 35% Pinot Meunier, 33% Pinot Noir and 32% Chardonnay. The Pinots were foot stomped, basket pressed and co fermented in barrel with the Chardonnay basket pressed and fermented separately (again in barrel). The wines were matured for 11 months in barrel on the lees before being racked by gravity into tank with a small sulphur addition (30 ppm).

At bottling a small amount of fresh fermenting Chardonnay juice from the 2025 vintage was added to the cuvee to re-ferment the wine in bottle, before being bottled by gravity according to the Biodynamic calendar.

The resulting wine, is a bright, mineral expression with zesty red fruit, crunchy green apple and lemon pastry all rounded out with a healthy amount of lees which add a lovely texture to the long finish.

Serve well chilled and give the bottle a gentle inversion before opening to mix the lees evenly.

Our label celebrates Yarrow, an abundant flowering herb with a long history in traditional medicine, biodynamics and farming. It is the key constituent of Biodynamic preparation 502, helping regulate sulphur and potassium processes, improved plant health and aromatic qualities. In the field its flowers attract pollinators and beneficial predators, whilst its deep taproots helps break up the soil and draws nutrients up from the depths. Its a beautiful cornerstone of the local ecosystem and biodynamics, a lovely representation of our Col Fondo, one of our favourite wines to make.
