A really fascinating morning at @Penn_Croft listening to Frederic Thomas - a French Regenerative Agriculture consultant sharing some genuinely exciting ideas about how to rebuild our soils.
Many of the UK’s most thoughtful viticulturalists are here….
Exciting news for Essex Vineyards & Wineries in Tom Hewson's 'England 2022 Special Report'. Roughly between 20% and 50% of Still Wines reviewed and 58% of the Awarded Still Wines came from . . . Essex Wineries/Vineyards or Wines made from Essex Grapes. #Towiegrapes
Some pristine Pinot Noir from our Penn Croft vineyard - 100% regeneratively farmed. Very excited to be making our first single vineyard still and sparkling wines @ItascaWines@Penn_Croft
@Penn_Croft Owner Simon Porter says, "most trained viticulturists would describe the vineyard as scruffy", but Simon has experienced that "the public love the story of cover crops, flowers, long grass and all the environmental benefits that go with that". 💚
Penn Croft and Itasca wines - a contract winery but also making their own wines, committed to regenerative farming https://t.co/PdBw1hq51q @Penn_Croft@ItascaWines
Settling in to The Wine Yard, Farnham. A cheese and charcuterie platter with a glass of Penn Croft Bacchus from the very local @ItascaWines is a lovely way to catch up with a dear friend.
Thanks for the great review of the 20 Pinot Blanc @MatthewSJukes @VineyardMagGB ‘made by Ben Smith, who was responsible for making my highest scoring English wine of all time (2018 Oxney Chardonnay), I have no problem declaring that this is the UK’s finest Pinot Blanc to date’ 🙌
