The European Union unanimously agreed that Camel Valley’s ‘Darnibole’ vineyards should be awarded the highest level of Protected Designated Origin (PDO), making it the first, and currently only, UK single vineyard to be awarded this ‘First Growth’ accolade The grapes are grown in the single Darnibole vineyard on a rich free draining soil over an ancient slate sub-soil. This, combined with a long cool growing season gives the wine its racy, crisp acidity.
The grapes are crushed and pressed, within 2 hours of hand picking, and the juice cooled to 4°C to retain the special fruit characters. Fermentation in stainless steel tanks at 13°C, ensures none of the unique character is lost. Recommended for ageing and suitable for vegetarians.
