'Sherika' 2024 Light Red

Bright, cherry and herbaceous. 

A bright and crunchy light red made with Rondo, macerated Ortega and barrel aged Chardonnay. Juicy cherry and blueberry upfront fruit with an herbaceous and thirst quenching finish.  Fine tannins make it suitable for a chill.

How was it made

The red Rondo grapes were destemmed and transferred into a stainless steel tank, where they began fermentation. After six days of extraction, the grapes were pressed, before finishing fermentation in stainless steel. The Ortega grapes were vinified in a similar way. The Chardonnay was fermented in stainless steel and in oak barrels, adding complexity and obtaining some oak influence. The finished wines were blended and bottled in summer 2025. 

Rondo grapes from Hampshire, Chardonnay grapes from Essex and Ortega grapes from Suffolk.
