We've been lucky enough to work with George and Ellen of Mayland for a number of years now. Producing tiny quantities in the rolling Somerset countryside and distributing to just a handful of outlets, Mayland Vineyard really is a passion project. Fourth-generation fruit growers, they farm just 1.2 hectares of vines, using no herbicides or insecticides, with sheep grazing through the area over winter building up organic matter to improve soil health and biodiversity.

Ghost Of The Navigator is a field blend of Pinot Meunier and Pinot Noir; a delicate, detailed rosato halfway between red and rosé. Thanks to the heat-drenched Summer of '22 the ripe, generous fruit are all on show with fresh cherry, and intense, wild strawberry coming through. Textured and versatile, with just 500 bottles produced, this is a real treat to bridge the seasons changing.
