Winery:When ex-RAF pilot Bob Lindo and his wife Annie planted their first eight thousand vines in 1989, they never dreamed of the phenomenal success they would achieve within 2 decades. They had bought their farm in the heart of the Cornish countryside several years earlier, seeking a change from service life and the perfect place to bring up their young family, and initially farmed sheep and cattle. Each summer they watched the grass turn brown on the sun-drenched slopes of the Camel Valley, and wondered if vines might enjoy such an aspect. Sam Lindo took over in 2002 – and has won many awards since.
Winemaking: Pinot Noir and Rondo grapes are fermented in the traditional method, to make an interesting and extremely small scale sparkling red wine.
Tasting Notes: Amazing vibrant red colour, fabulous fruit with brambly hedgerow and blackcurrant character. Great food match with roast turkey or barbecues. Serve well chilled.
