Vintage: 2022
Tillingham is the brainchild of winemaker Ben Walgate who crafts natural wines from his 70 acre farm near Rye in East Sussex.
Field Blend Three is a pét nat made from roughly a third each of Gamay, Pineau d'Aunis and Pinot Noir, plus 1% Manzoni Bianco, hand-harvested together and part fermented in stainless steel before completing fermentation in bottle. Damsons, cherries and a hint of spice on the nose lead into a tart, crisp palate with weight and a hint of raspberry.
