Walgate Wines W Blanc
Country: England
Region: East Sussex
Grapes: Ortega, Auxerrois
Vintage: 2023
Walgate Wines is Ben Walgate's post-Tillingham project, established in 2023 in Rye, East Sussex.
This is the W Blanc made from whole bunches of Auxerrois and Ortega, pressed 80% to fibreglass tank and 20% to oak barrel and wild fermented. Bottled unfined and unfiltered with low sulphur, this is an unmistakably natural wine but with great precision and tension to the citrus and apple fruit.
