The vines are dry grown and naturally low yielding, with deep root systems that allow them to ride out the extremes of each season and produce a small amount of intensely flavoured fruit. \u003c\/span\u003eOther than the annual prune, this vineyard has seen little else in the way of outside inputs, allowing the vines to find harmony in their environment. Moving more and more towards an active Regenerative approach, we have reduced machinery work by the use of a flock of sheep and created our own biological sprays from farm materials. This will help retain balance and sustainability in the site while remaining harmless to the wider environment. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Wines\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo compromises, no rules, no recipes.
