Winners! Two Silver Medals 🥇 and a trophy! 🏆 Our delighted little team had a fun day with for a members day and lunch. Such fun and as always, a wonderful competition organised, hosted and participated in by lovely people. We won the Members Choice trophy for our amazing Amara Pinot Noir Précoce, so I now have a lovely but fragile ornament to play host to for the next year - better put it out of reach of the cat! 🐈

Twice daily punch downs help keep the skins wet, to keep the skin cap fresh, and to extract the beautiful tropical fruit characters of the Solaris grapes and to pick up the amber and orangey hues from the berries. Tannins and oxidative notes that express themselves as fino-like (sherry-like) notes, are the discombobulating elements of this singular wine style. Something extraordinary is in the making…

Today, we harvested our Solaris and Seigrebbe grapes for our Amber Wine, first time ever in the month of August. Destemmed, crushed and vinified onsite, this natural wine will be the embodiment of this wonderful valley. Thanks to for coming and helping. A wonderful day!

Yesterday evening, betwixt heavy showers we decanted the wines from the delivery wagon, into the Cellardoor with Jason’s help, from - highly recommended for save and efficient transport and handling! We love a fresh from the winery delivery like this! And as soon as they’re labelled our famous Millstone Solaris 2025 will be for sale! 😁

An enduringly Mediterranean scene of an early ‘90s Ferrari Testarossa parked in from of a sun drenched vineyard that could easily be Italy, but isn’t - it’s Derbyshire!

This car was the car of my dreams as a kid in the ‘80s - beautiful to see as a visitor to the vineyard. Remember Miami Vice?

Seeing it topped off a cracking weekend of a Lovely Fizz ‘n’ Chip Friday, and tours on Saturday and Sunday. This car was our Saturday visitor.

There’s only a few tours left this year, so get yourselves booked on!
