'Maria' - 2022 Madeleine Angevine - Skin Contact

Grapes grown in Herefordshire, England.

Hand harvested then shipped by Renegade in refrigerated trucks at 2˚C direct to the London winery.

Wine fully made in London, UK.

Whats the wine like?

Maria is a really special one. a floral nose with wonderful apricot aromas balanced nicely with a focused dry palate. Herbal notes are forthcoming, basil and mint leaf with a tinge of lemon peely acidity. This wine walks the line between acidity, fruit and floral elements. A certified banger.

So how was Maria made?

Destemmed into our Georgian qvevri where it spent 6 days on skins, then pressed off into stainless steel where it underwent malolactic fermentation. Maria then spent 7 months on lees to increase complexity and mouthfeel. The wine was then lightly filtered before bottling. Minimal SO2 additions were made.

 This wine was made by two of the Renegade team, Patrick Marriott and Fleur de Boer and overseen by Andrea our Lead Winemaker. All key decisions regarding winemaking were made by Patrick and Fleur.
