A white blend of Ortega and Bacchus made by Gutter & Stars, Cambridge's first urban winery. The grapes were sourced from the Yew Tree Vineyard in Oxfordshire, with two varieties pressed and fermented together. Aged in used American barrels, it's sweet-spiced, with preserved pears and canned peach on the nose. Savoury and spicy on the palate, with freshly-cut grass, apricot, ginger and lemon sherbet notes. The green apple acidity serves as the backbone, followed by a nutty finish. Interestingly moreish. Only 450 bottles were made.
