Meunier 25 Natural Wine

NATURAL WINE
A first for us, a juicy, silky and expressive red cuvee of Pinot Meunier, from the stunning 2025 vintage. The Meunier was harvested at the end to ensure peak ripeness. It was entirely destemmed, partially foot trodden and macerated in tank for three weeks, before being basket pressed and racked into barrel. It aged there for 8 months before being bottled by gravity according to the Biodynamic calendar.

This is a light, expressive red, with a deep ruby hue. It has lots of juicy fruit and dark notes to it, giving it a real weight on the palate with a long silky finish. It will continue to develop beautifully over the next five years.

Our label celebrates Oxeye Daisy (Leucanthemum vulgare), a native wildflower that brightens the verges and meadows around us, flowering from late May through the summer, just as the vines burst into life. We have sown it around the site, particularly in the orchard area and around the winery - glorious to behold when in bloom. Its dense, fibrous roots bind the soil, guard against erosion and improve its structure. The long-lasting blooms draw in bees, hoverflies and ladybirds, natural allies that help keep pests in check and bring life and balance to the vineyard. A beautiful flower that brightens everything up, just like this wine.
