Macerated for 5 days on skins, then transferred to a demijohn and left for 8 months before bottling with a small SO2 addition and a coarse filtering to remove bits of gunk.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wineanorak.com\/blog\/2009\/09\/i-made-some-wine-this-year.html\">the harvest blog post<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Four bottles were produced, plus a bit for tasting. It&#8217;s made in an unashamedly oxidative style, with a bit of VA adding some lift to the appley, tangeriney, slightly madeira-like nose. The palate is quite complex, if a little odd. It isn&#8217;t a wine that has any commercial potential, but it is not without appeal, especially if you are into the weirder sorts of natural wine. Structurally it is interesting: the maceration on the skins with the white varieties has really worked.<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t laugh.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve just bottled the 2009 vintage of my wine.
