Polgoon Wild Ferment Sauvignon Blanc 2024
Polgoon Wild Ferment Sauvignon Blanc is a vibrant, small‑batch Cornish white that showcases the character of Polgoon’s coastal vineyards and their commitment to minimal‑intervention winemaking. Grown on south‑facing slopes overlooking Mount’s Bay, the fruit benefits from long daylight hours, cooling sea breezes and well‑drained soils that naturally enhance freshness and aromatic lift. Fermented with wild yeasts from the vineyard and winery, the wine develops layers of texture and complexity while retaining the bright, zesty purity that defines Polgoon’s style. Why You’ll Love It This is Sauvignon Blanc with a distinctly Cornish accent is fresh, expressive and full of coastal energy. The wild ferment adds subtle depth and savoury nuance, making it more characterful than many classic examples while still delivering the crisp vibrancy fans of the grape love. Meet the Producer Polgoon is a family‑run vineyard and orchard on the outskirts of Penzance, known for its sustainable approach and hands‑on craftsmanship. Since planting their first vines in the mid‑2000s, they’ve become one of Cornwall’s most respected producers, celebrated for wines that reflect the region’s maritime climate and unique terroir. Production Grapes are hand‑picked at peak ripeness and pressed gently to preserve aromatic delicacy. Fermentation is carried out using only the wild yeasts naturally present on the grape skins and in the winery, allowing the wine to develop its own individual character. Ageing on fine lees adds texture and subtle complexity without diminishing freshness. Tasting Notes Aromas of gooseberry, lime zest and elderflower mingle with hints of fresh herbs and a touch of sea spray. The palate is crisp and lively, offering citrus, green apple and subtle tropical notes, supported by a clean mineral edge. The finish is bright, refreshing and lightly textured from the wild ferment. Perfect Pairings Excellent with fresh seafood, grilled mackerel, goat’s cheese salads, asparagus, sushi
Wakefield St Andrews Riesling 2019
' The Taylor family of Wakefield Wines have been crafting fine Australian wine for five decades and over three generations. They are proud members of Australia's First Families of Wine - an organistion that has a combined 1,250 years of unrivalled heritage and iconic wines from families that have shaped Australia's winemaking history. Named after the historic property first established in 1892. A true reflection of the terroir, St. Andrews wines exemplify the very best of handcrafted Clare Valley winemaking. The first Taylors St. Andrews wines were released in 1999 and have developed a reputation as benchmark examples of great Clare Valley wine. As our flagship, St Andrews is only released in the finest vintages. The St. Andrews range is named after the historic property first established by Scottish immigrants in 1892. For forty years St. Andrews was one of the leading wine producers in the Clare Valley but sadly, ceased operating when it was sold in 1934. Bill Taylor quickly recognised the potential of the adjacent St. Andrews property when he was first establishing his vineyards in the Clare Valley, and wanted to make it a part of the family's estate. So in 1995 the family purchased the property and became proud custodians of a piece of Australian wine history. They immediately went about the task of re-creating the glory days by once again planting vines on the rich, fertile soils and in 1999 the first St. Andrews wines from Taylors were released. These wines are particularly special with fruit sourced from the best blocks on the estate and only crafted in the best vintages, they're a true testament to our philosophy of 'respect the fruit'. The hand-crafted approach extends beyond the winemaking too as even the labels are hand applied. This modern version of St. Andrews now has a heritage that spans almost two decades. Over this time, the wines have developed a well-deserved reputation - not only as benchmark Clare Valley styles but also standing tall amongst th
