Ancre Hill Vineyard The Pefriog 2018
Intense, brisk and moreish – bursting with citrus and apple freshness.
“Pefriog” is Welsh for “sparkling”. A fresh yet intense 100% Pinot Noir Welsh Sparkling Wine, this wine is bursting with citrus and apple freshness. The wine was fermented in stainless steel with an élevage of over 12 months for the base wine, then an ageing of 1 to 2 years on lees.
Ancre Hill Estates is located in the Welsh county of Monmouthshire. The 12 hectares of vineyards are perfectly positioned on south facing slopes close to the border town of Monmouth and the Wye Valley. The estate utilises traditional Biodynamic and Organic Viticultural practices to produce the best possible fruits from carefully sourced and selected varieties with excellent heritage. The wines produced at Ancre Hill express the terroir of ancient mudstone and sandstone soils, giving the wines their character and natural flavours, with no external intervention or manipulation in the winemaking process.
