Description
The Afanc: a mythical beast who slinks in the depths of a Welsh mountain lake. It is said to prey upon any foolish enough to fall into its pristine waters.
This is a blend of aromatic white varietals. Solaris from our vineyard at The Dell blended with Phoenix, Reichensteiner and Schönburger from our older vineyard at Pen-y-Clawdd.
Flavours of elderflower and pear with a passion fruit aroma.
Our 2023 Afanc was a highlight for Matthew Jukes at a recent tasting event in London. In an article Money Week he wrote:
“My headliner is a jaw-droppingly beautiful wine named after a mythical beast who is said to slink in the depths of Welsh mountain lakes. It is made from reichensteiner, schönberger and phoenix, and it reminds me of the classically dimensioned and uniquely beguiling rare French white style, Jurançon Sec. The stone fruit, wildflower, quince and jasmine tones are exhilarating, and the bitter bite of acidity and minerality on the finish brings the exuberant fruit to a dramatic conclusion.”
Sadly that vintage soon sold out after his rave review so be sure to pick up a bottle.
