It gives me great pleasure to welcome you to the first Vineyard & Winery Show.

After a later harvest than usual, we hope your day will provide an ideal time to see friends, compare notes and plan the season ahead.

Our first event is packed full of interest, with literally something for everyone – whether you are a grower, producer, supplier or UK wine merchant. Be sure to check out our seminars starting at 09:00 and running through until 17:00 – with topics on areas such as wine tourism, yield and quality and malolactic fermentation.

In our exhibitor hall you will want to plan your day carefully to ensure you benefit from meeting in excess of 80 trade exhibitors, who will be displaying everything from the latest vineyard machinery through to the best winery equipment – not to mention the diverse range of advisors who will be on hand to discuss all your vineyard and winery needs.

Thank you to all our producers who are taking part in our Top 100 display of UK wines. Their continued high standard is the only reason why our industry is thriving and hence why we are able to come together with a show like this. You certainly won’t be able to miss their mouth watering

display, just visit the main exhibitor area and feast your eyes (and taste buds) on 100 very special UK wines, each available to taste.

All these wines are either from 2021 award winning producers or chosen as one of Matthew Jukes’ top 50.

I’d like to say a special thank you to Matthew Jukes who has been a fantastic advocate of the UK wine industry for many years now – you could even say he is an ambassador for UK wine, such is his enthusiasm. Today he is underlining his support for the industry by hosting a tutored tasting of 6 wines, with the money raised going to The Drinks Trust.

Please let me end my welcome to you by saying we are so grateful to our main sponsors because without their support it would not be possible to present you with such a special event – so thank you to: Berlin Packaging, Hutchinsons, Vitifruit, CLM and Royston Labels as well as our other event partners: Defined Wine, Urban Bar, Harvest Green Developments, HSBC, Elite Wine Refrigeration, Ferovinum, Farmable and Rankin Brothers & Sons.

We hope you enjoy your visit to the first Vineyard & Winery Show!

Show sponsors Mark Crumpton brings a particular understanding of the industry to his role with Berlin Packaging, having obtained a Masters Degree in wine making from Plumpton College.

Given its long-standing history, it is no surprise that in 1955 Berlin Packaging – then H Erben Ltd – supplied pressing and bottling machinery to Sir Guy SalisburyJones, who planted the first commercial vineyard in the UK for a hundred years.

More recent developments include setting up a supplier partnership with Laffort, which allows the company to offer oenological supplies, filtration kits, processing aids and additives

alongside tanks, bottling equipment and closures.

Berlin Packaging has its own UK laboratory and offers technical support to all its customers. “We see ourselves as very customercentric and we make sure we listen and respond to their requests.

We offer other support including stockholding, logistics and credit accounts and we can also print

straight onto glass,” explained Mark.

“It’s exciting to see the increasingly professional approach being taken by UK wine growers and makers and their determination to produce high quality wines, and our aim is to supply them with the right products and the right bottles to help them do that. The industry is going through astonishing growth and has a great future.

“The Vineyard Show will be a great way to celebrate that and bring the various players together as a source of ideas and expertise from which all the visitors can draw.

It’s a great idea and I’m sure it will be a huge success.” www.erben.co.uk

Now one of the UK’s leading vineyard agronomy companies, Hutchinsons was keen to sign up as a sponsor of The Vineyard Show.

Head of Marketing Nick Rainsley explained that the show would provide an opportunity not just to support the industry and allow Hutchinsons’ experts to share up-to-date knowledge and information but to take the time to meet and chat to new growers within a thriving sector.

Hutchinsons has a dedicated, full-time team of vineyard specialists, including Chris Cooper and Rob Saunders, two highly experienced and well-respected vineyard agronomists who contribute to Vineyard each month.

“Along with advice, Hutchinsons supplies crop protection products, nutrition and all the sundry products and services needed to manage a vine crop and to do so successfully,” Nick said. “We offer nutrition mapping and management plus soil health and soil management on organic and conventional vineyards, which is critical.

Our unique healthy soils assessment looks not just at the chemical make-up of the soil but at its physical attributes to produce a comprehensive guide to how the grower can improve it.”

The vineyard market has clearly grown rapidly over the past decade or so, but Nick believes it has changed in a more fundamental way. “Growers are now more professional and more experienced and are demanding a

Based in Royston near Cambridge, Royston Labels is a privately owned company, established in 1984, with a state-of-the-art production facility, a team of 80 full-time staff and a dedicated drinks label division.

At the centre of operations is Managing Director Paul Clayton, and the engine at the heart of Royston is a technical team focused on developing new products and market innovations to enhance their clients’ packaging and brands. “We produce over 400 million labels per year and our award-winning team of experts can

be relied upon to deliver fantastic results,” commented Paul.

Royston has recently consolidated four production sites to a purpose renovated ultramodern 65,000 sq ft facility – it’s spacious, immaculate, and high tech making it reminiscent of the ‘starship enterprise’.

“The move and additional capacity have given the

much higher level of service and support,” he said. “They expect more, and we are here to deliver more.

“While the main change is in the sheer scale of the industry, that more professional approach is also driving things forward. When you have investment in this country from traditional wine areas in France, you know that the game is changing – and we are here to support that.

“Hutchinsons feels the time is absolutely right for the industry to have its own, dedicated professional event that supports and celebrates all areas of viticulture and provides great networking opportunities and a chance to showcase the best of English wines. We will be highlighting new technologies and services in areas such as weather, disease prediction, nutrition and soil mapping.

“It is also important to us to know that the show is being organised by a highly professional team brought together by Vineyard magazine. Their knowledge of the industry and their experience gives us confidence that this really will be a great show.” www.hlhltd.co.uk business a clear direction and growth plan for years to come,” said Paul. “We combine our knowledge of traditional print technologies with the latest in digital innovations, to ensure that our clients always receive the most cost-effective, high quality packaging solutions available,” he added.

“Royston Labels are very pleased and proud to be a main sponsor of the new Vineyard show,” commented Glyn Scriven, Head of Sales. “I have been involved with the UK wine industry for over a decade and so I am very excited about the new Vineyard show and the opportunities that it will bring for the industry,” Glyn added. www.roystonlabels.co.uk

SPONSORS Machinery dealer Vitifruit, supplies a broad range of outdoor equipment for vineyards across the UK and takes pride in providing a bespoke service based on each customer’s needs.

“We stock entry level, but still high quality, equipment for new or smaller growers but we can also provide state-of-the-art machinery from big name manufacturers for larger vineyards,” explained Richard Witt, joint owner of the Edenbridge-based business.

“As an example, we stock sprayers from MM and Zupan which cost a few thousand pounds and are ideal for smaller vineyards, but we can also supply the Lipco recirculation sprayer that recycles any liquid that drips off the vines, saving up to 40% of chemical costs and eliminating drift.

“As well as sprayers, Vitifruit supplies mowers, inter-vine cultivators and de-leafers as well as smaller items such as secateurs and tying machines,” said Richard. “Everything apart from tractors – and in most cases we can offer products across a broad price spectrum.”

Vitifruit, which Richard set up in 2010 with partner David Sayell, also offers repairs, servicing and

Vitifruit Equipment Sales and Hire machinery hire, looking after customers all over the country. David Wood, the third member of the team, leads on the workshop side of the business.

Richard explained why Vitifruit had been keen to sponsor The Vineyard Show. “The company has been with Vineyard magazine since its inception, and David (Sayell) writes an article every month, so we feel a strong affinity with the publication and wanted to be involved in this exciting new project.

“The idea of an industry specific show for English wines and vineyards is interesting – and very necessary at a time when there is so much happening in the sector. It’s also planned for a good time of the year when people are less busy. We think it’s a great idea and we are keen to support it.

“We are looking forward to meeting old and new customers and talking to people about how we can support their businesses.” www.vitifruitequipment.co.uk

For Matthew Berryman of land, property and environmental consultants CLM, the launch of The Vineyard Show “is indicative of the bright future for the viticulture sector”.

He explained: “Like all parts of the economy, we have been hit hard by Covid-19, but the longterm prospects remain strong, with English and Welsh wines winning awards and customers.

“Running a successful vineyard business is a complex proposition, though, and that’s never been more the case than it is today.

“Successful operators need specialist advice on many topics, which is why CLM is proud to be one of sponsors of the inaugural Vineyard Show as we support viticulturists across a range of commercial areas.

“We are particularly involved in helping people find, buy and sell land, shape and structure their

businesses – through such formats as leases and joint ventures – develop tourism activities and navigate the planning system.

“We give honest, objective advice, whether that’s on the upper limit they should bid for a piece of land or the likelihood of getting planning permission to build a winery if they do acquire that land.

“We’re excited about the future and believe there are many great opportunities to be had, but we’re also realistic about the challenges.

“The Vineyard & Winery Show will be a great platform for all sections of our industry – from growers and would-be investors to

See us on stand K43

wine makers, agronomists and the trade – to come together in one place.

“There’ll be a host of exhibitors and a fascinating seminar programme, making this a great place to network and hear the latest news and views.

“It’s also a perfect opportunity to keep up to date with new technical advice, market trends and government policies, not to mention tasting some of the wonderful wine produced in England and Wales.

“We live in a time of change.

The launch of this new show is testimony to that change and evidence of the excitement surrounding viticulture.

“We’re based in East Sussex, in the heart of wine country, and have supported rural businesses for many years, so we’re looking forward to talking to visitors about how we can help them launch or develop their viticulture enterprise.” www.c-l-m.co.uk

As well as the fantastic support from our main sponsors, we are so pleased to have individual sponsorship across all aspects of the show’s activities.

We are also pleased to provide you with some of Matthew’s thoughts alongside each as published in Vineyard Magazine and on www.Matthewjukes.com

CONTRACT WINEMAKING AND LAB SERVICES Lab results within two working days

Triomphe Blackdown Ridge

Matthew says: Made from Triomphe d’Alsace and seeing 10 months in French oak, this is a dark, spicy, bonfiretinged red wine with lovely black cherry fruit and masses of gusto. Relatively straightforward on the palate and generously juicy, too, this would be a surprisingly good steak wine such is the energy found here!

2017 Classic Pinot Meunier Oxney Organic

Matthew says: Only 533 bottles were made of this absolutely sensational wine and so it is one of the rarest releases I have written about in Vineyard and, as you can imagine, it is not sold in indie merchants or even restaurants, which is a shame because it is my favourite English 100% Pinot Meunier to date. The plan is to make more in the future which is great news because this wine is a stellar advert for the charms of Meunier with its white pepper and ginger root details over a sleek, buoyant chassis.

2018 Chardonnay Oxney Organic

www.definedwine.com Outside Canterbury, CT4 5HL henry@definedwine.com

Matthew says: This is the most resonant and beautiful English wine I have ever tasted and I have waited 34 years to say this. Finely assembled, nothing short of exquisite and refreshingly innocent this Chardonnay is the proud possessor of a firm core of mineral-soaked fruit and this makes it a phenomenal release.

I will go further – I cannot think of a way in which this wine could be improved and this sets it apart from every other English wine I have tasted. By definition, this is my first ever 20/20 scoring English wine.

2015 Blanc de Blancs Single vineyard Ridgeview

Matthew says: The English signature of bracing acidity under a slender, chic, Chardonnay chassis marks this wine as a genuine, couture creation. Coming from the original 1995 plantings, this is a statuesque wine and one which will reward patient cellaring.

11 V I N E YA R D & W I N E R Y S H O W 2 0 2 1

MATTHEW JUKES TOP 50 2010 Classic Cuvée Magnum Nyetimber

Matthew says: Firstly, the value afforded here is staggering.

This is an eleven-year-old, superb vintage, stellar estate wine that has been matured carefully for your delectation, and it is only slightly north of forty squids a bottle.

Wow. The fact that it can be purchased in a magnum is even more compelling because this format will further extend the potential for this wine.

2020 White (Chasselas) Ashdown Estate

Matthew says: It seems that Ashdown, aka Bluebell Vineyard, has realised that they have white gold planted in their vineyards, so they are renaming their Estate White – Chasselas.

The 2020 Ashdown Chasselas is pure, bright, refreshing and intriguing at the same time as soothing and wistful.

The fruit is so calm and silky, kissed with pear juice moments and cold pebble freshness, that you find yourself lost in wonder. It casts a genuine spell on your palate, and I want more.

2020 Sauvignon Blanc Greyfriars Vineyard

Matthew says: I was greeted by a heavenly perfume when my nose was still a foot away from the glass. These are, verbatim, the first two expressions that I wrote in my notebook – ‘superaccurat’ and ‘Menetou-Salon’.

2020 was a fabulous vintage, and this wine is, without doubt, the finest GBSB I have tasted, but my mind was way ahead of my palate as I was mentally comparing it to the stunning wines of Teiller, Pellé, Remoortere and Clément in the Loire Valley.

2018 Brut Reserve Gusbourne

Matthew says: It is not often that I unleash a 19/20 score in my notebook. It is even rarer for me to share this with you because I always want people to read my notes and not my scores, but this is, without any shred of doubt, a wine that will stop you in your tracks with its completeness, balance, nobility and élan.

2015 Brut Cuvée Jack Pike Breaky Bottom MV English Reserve (Demi-Sec) Ambriel

Matthew says: Made from 68% Pinot Noir, 31% Chardonnay and just the 1% Pinot Meunier, this single-vineyard, slightly off-dry wine packs 32 g/L dosage into its frame, but the acidity is so bracing that you can barely taste it. You simply feel a whoosh of completeness wash over your palate and wonder just how it happened.

Ambriel’s English Reserve manages to tread a tanginess/ sweetness tightrope walk with extraordinary daring and accuracy.

Matthew says: Youthful and brimming with electricity, this is a wine which celebrates tradition while looking eagerly to the future. While there is an understandable move to planting Chardonnay and Pinot Noir because these grapes inevitably make awesome wines, it is pioneering cuvées like Jack Pike which seem increasingly authentic and honest, and so it is even more encouraging that this wine tastes so stellar.

NV Langham, Corallian, Classic Cuvée Langham Matthew says: Based on the 2017 vintage, with a 62% Chardonnay, 29% Pinot Noir, 9% Pinot Meunier mix and a tweak of 10% reserve wine, which certainly makes itself heard, this is a strongly perfumed and robustly flavoured sparkler with a serious attitude and a world-class stance!

2014 King’s Cuvée Hattingley Valley

Matthew says: At seven years old, this is not only one of the country’s finest sparkling wines, but it is also grand, layered, keen and bristling with energy. The lifeforce buried within each bottle is extraordinary, and I cannot see it losing its momentum for many years to come. This wine is a classic example of one that shows perfect balance every time you pop a cork. Yet the flavour gently progresses along a wonderful journey, billowing and softening as it goes, so it never tastes exactly the same.

2014 Brut Cuvée Michelle Moreau Breaky Bottom

Matthew says: With a more open nose than Jack Pike and a particular floral immediacy and also mid-palate succulence which I find amazingly enticing, this is a super-fine wine with great acidity and a long, unwavering finish. In addition to the magical flavours that these wines offer, it is important to draw your attention to the spectacular packaging.

2018 Blanc De Noir Brut Raimes Matthew says: This is a full-flavoured creation, packed with ripe fruit, and it is offset with grippy acidity and an impressively long finish. This is a smart wine with a larger frame than many, but sensational balance keeps this ebullience in check and it makes it a thoroughly irresistible creation.

info@producepackaging.co.uk www.producepackaging.co.uk

Matthew says: It is such a grand idea to launch a wine that has had enough opportunity to mature fully and with a discreet 11% oak balanced by 8 g/L residual sugar, this is a hedonistic, guilty pleasure style of wine. The apple compote notes are sublime and the texture is gossamer smooth and I can imagine stalwart Leander Club members, pink ties ahoy, getting ever so carried away with a few of these bottles under their belts and bustles.

MV Cuvée Chérie Demi-Sec Nyetimber

Matthew says: Cherie Spriggs is the ultimate professional and there is clearly a no-compromise rule at Nyetimber. True to form, Cherie (Spriggs) is too modest to allow this wine to be named after her, although this is a delightful nod, and the accented spelling of Chérie, as we all know, means ‘sweetheart’ while also hinting at a dosage-influenced wine.

Oh, and a tasting note?

There is no need because this is the finest demi-sec in the country and it kicks into touch virtually every Champagne demi-sec I can think of, too, because the balance between silky fruit and bracing acidity is spot on!

2020 Flint Dry Chapel Down

Matthew says: 62% Chardonnay leads the way in this blend with 18% Bacchus and then a six-grape supporting act adding layers and flair. What I most like about this wine graduating to being a serious white blend, from cheeky chappie status is how the Chardonnay element finally leads the way with its plushness allowing Bacchus to fall back into the blend and do what it does best adding sour hints and a racy finish.

2017 Rosé Sparkling Urban Foxes

Matthew says: With a very pale coral colour and an ultra-fine, smooth, creamy mousse, this is a superdelicate rosé with so much control and class it is extraordinary. The wild strawberry and faint cherry stone flavours are ever so refined and the entire experience is perfectly poised. I have never tasted a more enchanting, debut-release, sparkling Pinot Noir in my life.

15 V I N E YA R D & W I N E R Y S H O W 2 0 2 1

MATTHEW JUKES TOP 50

2015 Blanc de Noirs Harrow and Hope Matthew says: This 70% Pinot Noir 30% Pinot Meunier Blanc de Noirs is my favourite wine released from H&H and even barrel fermentation cannot hide the raw energy, derived from this remarkable vineyard, in this tangy but already flirtatious wine. Harrow & Expectation has arrived.

2011 Brut Cuvée Oliver Minkley Breaky Bottom

Matthew says: This is the most complex of the three Breaky Bottom wines and this is a factor of age and also, presumably, the four grape cépage. Starting to reach its plateau of perfection this is a magnificently complete wine with grandeur and length that the younger wines can only dream of.

2019 Bacchus Hoffmann and Rathbone 2019 Pinot Noir Rosé Wayfarer Wine Matthew says: There is the merest touch of colour and the nose boasts discreet rosehip and blackcurrant sorbet notes. There is a cleansing grapefruit acidity on the finish and I feel that if a rosé of this standard can be made in year one of this vineyard’s life, great red wines will inevitably follow.

2019 Pinot Gris Heppington Vineyard

Matthew says: With a lovely nose of white pepper spice and ginger lily, which flows into a controlled, mellifluous mid-palate, this is a layered, Alto Adige-style wine as opposed to a skinny, mean Grigio or a chubby Alsatian Gris. Attractive, zesty and superbly modern this is a vital style of wine for the UK and this debut vintage has nailed it.

16 V I N E YA R D & W I N E R Y S H O W 2 0 2 1

Matthew says: The acid is spectacular and without it, this wine would be Jabba the Hutt, but with it, this is a prancing prince like no other. Given a year or two, this might be one of the most remarkable wines we have seen on our shores.

Either way, I am confident that it will amaze all who fall under its spell.

2018 Pinot Noir Chartham Vineyard Matthew says: With a vivid crimson colour, an edgy, AuxeyDuresses feel, bright red cherry notes and a nice slender finish, this is a thoroughly engaging red and one which I hope will fly out of the Chartham cellar door because it deserves to gain legions of fans.

2020 Silex Blanc Flint Vineyard

Matthew says: This wine has the most extroverted oak impact.

There is no doubt that the oak adds gloss, élan and exoticism as well as helping the four grapes to get to know one another very well in a relatively short space of time. The only thing it doesn’t add is actual oakiness, which is a relief.

2019 Three Barrel Bacchus Knightor

Matthew says: There were only 900 bottles made of this exquisitely perfumed sweet white wine. This is one of the most magical and rewarding wines in the country, and it is a triumph of unexpected winemaking and open-minded imagination. Three Barrel Bacchus is such a rare and unusual wine – it confounds the senses with its glorious flavours.

Matthew says: Made from Bacchus and Schönburg and seasoned in chestnut barrels, this is a lush, pear juice-soaked, sensual sweetie which reminds me of old Jurançon demisecs from the ‘60s and ‘70s.

Nostalgic and rather quaint, this is the wine with the most conventional flavour, but if I told you that it was made using a cryoconcentration technique, then you will understand that this is a technically impressive creation, too.

Matthew says: This wine is simply superb! What a difference a year makes and while I know that the 2019 sold out in record time, this is a far superior and extremely well-balanced wine.

The oak manifests itself as gentle spice, gingernut and herb details which temper the green notes found in the Bacchus and bring a more exotic and layered feel to proceedings.

2014 Blanc De Blancs Brut Ashling Park Estate

Matthew says: Made under the guidance of consultant winemaker Dermot Sugrue, this is a piercingly dry, super-clean and ultra-refined wine. The laser-sharp acidity gives the Ashling Park wines brilliance and élan and this BdeB is sure to bring even more custom to its door.

2020 Rabbit Hole Pinot Noir Simpsons Wine Estate

Matthew says: The oak is discreet (four months in two-year-old French), and this allows the silky-smooth, darklyhued Pinot fruit to shine. This is a glossy wine with genuine depth, but unwanted astringency or drying tannin does not accompany this extra effort made on the mid-palate. RHPN is an exemplary wine, and the future is very bright for this single-vineyard Pinot Noir because, in 2020, it finally showed us a glimpse of its true potential.

2018 Rosé Brut Hattingley Valley

Matthew says: Alongside Pinot Noir, this is a 50% Pinot Noir, 45% Pinot Meunier and 5% Pinot Noir Précoce elixir with gentle oak influence and undeniable finesse in every sip.

Winemaker Emma Rice adores her Meunier pointing out that King’s Cuvée, the top wine at Hattingley, has around 40% in the blend.

Matthew says: This must be one of the most multi-talented whites I can think of. Textural, lusty and refreshing, with no obvious oak or alcohol coupled with serious class and polish – this wine should be everywhere in the off-trade and on-trade.

2020 Gribble Bridge Dornfelder Biddenden

Matthew says: With a dark hue, weighty impact and spicy attack this is a proud red wine and one with unexpected depth and juiciness. Shaped like a feisty Morgon, this will be a beautiful summer picnic wine, so jump on the train to Headcorn and book yourself in for a tour, tasting and lunch.

2018 LVII-XIX Pinot Noir Giffords Hall Vineyard Matthew says: Guy Howard, owner of Giffords Hall Vineyard, died in 2019. They meticulously went through the records of the cellar and winery at Giffords Hall. There was one anomaly – a tank of 2018 Pinot with a rather impressive alcohol level, and so they bottled it and labelled it with Guy’s birth and death years in Roman numerals. Guy’s great ambition was to make 'an acceptable' English red. This wine is far from acceptable – it is outstanding.

2015 Biodynamic Wild Ferment Blanc de Blancs Albury Organic Vineyard

Matthew says: This is a wine that blew my palate away. Only 600 bottles were made of this 100% biodynamic, wild yeast fermented Chardonnay and it is utterly sensational. Albury is a haven for bugs, bees, butterflies and biodynamism and this sherbety, ultra-fresh and super-delicate wine shows gossamer lightness coupled with steely integrity on its palate. I love the story, the packaging and the flavour here and it is the sort of wine which would convert any sustainability-atheists to the cause.

MATTHEW JUKES TOP 50 2014 Cuvée Noir Brut The Bolney Estate

What would you do with access to your capital tied up in stock today?

Matthew says: Dark, berry-stuffed, peppery and fresher than many a Sparkling Shiraz, this is a crunchy, prickly number with a welcome savoury feel which balances the exuberant fruit. I can even taste a lick of tannin here and this brings added flair and daring. Pop the cork with beef in black bean sauce, rogan josh, chipotle chilli beef, seared venison with blackberries or a classic mixed grill, this wine is a veritable magician with tricky dishes.

2019 Bacchus The Bolney Estate

Matthew says: This has a firm chassis, is voluminous in flavour and has an attenuated finish, and for this reason I think it is worth the extra few quid.

It has that classic elderflower and nettle tone coupled with brittle acidity and bracing mintiness. A delicious wine that perfectly captures the vibrancy and nerve of this energetic variety.

Talk to the official funding partner of WineGB.

We’ve helped fund over 1,000,000 bottles so far.

NV Corallian Classic Cuvée Langham Matthew says: Based on the 2017 vintage, with a 62% Chardonnay, 29% Pinot Noir, 9% Pinot Meunier mix and a tweak of 10% reserve wine, which certainly makes itself heard, this is a strongly perfumed and robustly flavoured sparkler with a serious attitude and a worldclass stance!

Late Harvest 2018 Halfpenny Green

Matthew says: Made from Huxelrebe and Bacchus, this is a bruised apple and pear-skin-scented sweetie with a faint Muscat feel, and a light and refreshing finish. At 10% alcohol, it is a delicate and gorgeously innocent pudding wine for the lightest of fresh fruit desserts. If you think of this wine solely as a sweetie, it is one of the country’s finest, but then place it on a world stage and there is nothing like it with its delicacy, finesse and lightness of touch and that is before we even consider the value for money!

2020 Pinot Noir Précoce Vagabond

Matthew says: This is the brand new vintage of Vagabond’s epic Précoce and with a zany, Beaujolais-like bite of fresh red berries over an earthy, vital core, this is one of my favourite wines of all time from the mercurial hands of Gavin Monery.

2019 Madeline Angevine Giffords Hall Matthew says: The perfect aperitif white for sophisticated gatherings. Gentle and smooth with a light lemon theme and a lovely dry, crisp finish, this is an enchanting wine with an airy character.

MATTHEW JUKES TOP 50 2019 Shoreline Lyme Bay

Matthew says: The airiness and effortless beauty of the artwork on these wines is echoed in the crisp flavours and refreshing signature that their flavours leave on the palate. At a tender 11.5% alcohol, this is one of the most haunting and delicious dry white wines in the land and it benefits greatly from a kaleidoscope of discreet aromas and flavours that can only be experienced when you blend these three white grapes with extreme sensitivity.

2019 Bacchus Laneberg Winery Gateshead Fortnum And Mason Matthew says: There are no tricks employed in the winery but what Elise manages to do, with laser-sighted precision, is to retain all of the pristine energy in the grapes, which were sourced from the Poulton Hill Vineyard in Gloucestershire.

The result is an 11% alc, rapier-sharp, elderflower and green tea perfumed wine which goosebumped my entire body with the very first sip!

2019 Pinot Noir Whitehall

Matthew says: This is a triumph. If this wine is anything to go by, the future for this estate is very bright indeed. The nose is spot on with a smattering of French oak and I don’t doubt that the colour is helped by a cunning 15% Rondo addition, but with only 11.5% alcohol on board it is shaped like a forward-drinking Beaujolais.

Castlewood Block HH Clone Gf1 Bacchus Devon Minnow

Matthew says: This wine is such a different take on the Bacchus grape. There are none of the pinched, nettle and elderflower notes associated with this variety. Instead, it shows uncommon texture, palate plushness and perfect balance. The oak component alone is mindblowing. It is not too rich, while still retaining luxurious patisserie notes that augment the ginger and lime blossom perfume and coat the filigree-inlay palate. It is a staggering creation.

MATTHEW JUKES TOP 50 2018 Pinot Noir Denbies

Matthew says: I don’t care in the slightest that there is little formal PN DNA on show here because this is a delightful and extremely rewarding red wine. It manages to wear 17 months in older French barriques with ease and this only adds to the swagger that this challenging red brings to its delivery. The fact that it is only 12.5% alcohol is baffling because there is intensity here, too. Good on you Denbies for making an energetic, feisty Pinot which will amaze all-comers.

2019 Estate Selection Albourne Estate Matthew says: Made from Chardonnay, Ortega and a dribble of Bacchus, this wine is a masterclass in assembling a thoughtful blend from delicate components in a sensitive and beautifully balanced manner. The oak in this wine was only deployed in the Chardonnay component and it was done with devastating precision.

2019 Bacchus Dillions Vineyard

Matthew says: Tasting unlike any Bacchus I have seen before in the UK, Dillions Bacchus proves that new eyes are such a valuable asset in our business.

I venture that this wine will convert Bacchus atheists with its unpredictable flavour trail of rhubarb stalks and violets.

Fascinating and also memorable, this is another debut from this winery which will have us all on the edge of our seats.

2019 Bacchus Winbirri

Matthew says: Ever since the 2015 vintage of this wine won the Decanter World Wine Awards Best Single-Varietal White Wine in the World title, there is a veritable stampede every time this wine is released. This 2019 wine is a cracker with smooth, unhurried, languid elderflower and lemongrass notes with a lip-smacking surge of electricity on the finish.

2015 Magna Carter 1215 Reserve Rondo Somerby Vineyards

Matthew says: This red is easily the most northerly red wine I have ever tasted and it is silky, harmonious and balanced.

The back label notes both French and American barrels used here and with a feather-light 11% alcohol on board, this blackberry and apple crumble themed wine is rather enchanting. I assume that the oak adds the ‘crumble’!

2015 Madeline Angevine Leventhorpe Vineyard

Matthew says: I have a soft spot for well-made Madeleine Angevine and this is a beauty. Another wine which has clearly benefited from five year’s maturation, the violet notes on the nose, coupled with the hints of peach and mango make this a mildly exotic treat. But there is a welcome sour edge to this billowing fruit which tethers it to your palate, and I love the haunting feel throughout the whole experience.

Smooth, distinctive, full of character, with bright contrast, balance and a superb finish (and that’s just the label).

Do your seasonal workers struggle to open a UK Bank account?

At OnePay we provide an alternative solution to pay your workers in a fast and secure way That’s why we offer: Multi-lingual customer support Customer app and portal Easy cheque depositing Fast and easy account set up An online portal for clients Dedicated account management

FEATURED EXHIBITOR

Easy access to money Growers who are keen to employ – and keep – the best seasonal staff will know that one of the worries facing temporary workers is getting quick and easy access to the money they have earned.

Employers who can support overseas workers who are doing their best to overcome the language barrier and adapt to life in a foreign country understand the benefit of making the transition as hassle-free as possible.

OnePay can be a vital part of that support, since it provides an alternative payroll solution for growers and can ensure that temporary staff who don’t already have a UK bank account can get paid quickly, something that can be very important to overseas staff.

Alison McPhail, head of client engagement with the company, said the support goes beyond simply giving employees an account number. “The team works very closely with welfare officers to make sure that employees have all the support they need around being paid,” she explained. “We make sure workers get paid in a simple, swift, secure and engaging manner.”

OnePay has a multi-lingual customer services team to support workers and provides information booklets

in various languages, along with an app and online accounts. “Individuals can’t open accounts themselves, but during inductions the companies who use OnePay can suggest us as an alternative way to be paid.

“The process is much simpler than opening a traditional account because we work with the employer directly.

There are no costs to our clients and each OnePay account holder has an individual account number, so payroll works exactly as it would when paying into a mainstream bank.”

One Pay is a service partner of the Association of Labour Providers and works closely with the Gangmasters Licence Abuse Authority.

Accounts set up by OnePay can also accept business or HMRC cheques without the payee being present – useful if the worker has since returned to their home country as they can simply post the cheque back to the UK. Alison, who has seen OnePay grow from small beginnings to a 90-strong team over the past dozen or so years, is looking forward to chatting to growers who are looking to make life easier for their workforce at this year’s Vineyard & Winery Show.

Kirkland UK to exhibit the new Antonio Carraro specialist tractors Kirkland UK, a family company established for over 20 years, provides specialist machinery for orchard and vineyard management. Kirkland UK aims to provide their customers with products and services that enable them to keep one step ahead and ‘grow’ in an ever challenging environment – or in other words... make fruit growing easier.

Strategic change within the business means that Kirkland UK have been able to expand their range of machinery for vineyards, to satisfy every application and budget requirement. Kirkland UK’s range includes Italian-made Antonio Carraro compact tractors, Orizzonti cultivation and pruning equipment, sprayers and harvesting machines to name just a few.

The Antonio Carraro tractors are a complete range of specialised, multifunctional, and reversible tractors,

including the quad track Mach 4, the new specialist Tony V which is the first conventional style tractor from Antonio Carraro – all suitable for vineyards.

“The Antonio Carraro tractors’ key features for vineyards are their low centre of gravity and good stability, making them suitable for steep ground,” commented Ben Devine, Sales Manager. “There are very narrow models available which are only 1.06m wide, with a cab. Most models have four equal sized wheels, which means equal weight distribution over both axles – compared to many other tractors which have 60%-80% of the weight over the rear wheels, even before an implement is added. This reduces compaction and rutting.

“The compact tractors have good traction, as all come as four-wheel drive, and up to 100 horsepower. Many models are articulated, including the 1.06m model, with

superb hydraulic options. Manual or auto transmission options are available, using the CVT (Continuous Variable Transmission) system.

“With the RGS (Reverse Guide System), the operator can, in just a few seconds, flip the pedals and spin round to be facing the implement – a trimmer, mower etc. There is also an option to have tracks rather than tyres – perfect for very steep sites,” Ben added.

Just as well Kirkland UK have a large stand at the show as they will also be exhibiting a range of giant wheel loaders and a selection of Orizzonti cultivation equipment, from simple mechanical single sided units to double sided machines – all with a very versatile range of tools controlled by the hydraulic sensor arm. On the stand will also be the Orizzonti pruning equipment and a range of Orvin sprayers.

Ben commented: “The team here at Kirkland UK are certainly excited about exhibiting at the Vineyard & Winery Show, we pride ourselves in being a friendly and open-minded company and for this reason we’re looking forward to catching up with all of our existing customers and likewise meeting new customers and visitors at the show. Vineyards are a fast-growing market for us with sales increasing year on year.

“We never stand still; we’re always looking for opportunities and we understand that the best way of finding these is to speak with those on the ground.

There’s also our vintage refreshment vehicle which will

be open and providing existing and new customers with needed supplies!”

Kirkland UK are always keen to add new equipment to their portfolio, in response to customer needs. “We like to see ourselves as a machinery solutions provider, able to source appropriate equipment for our customers,” added Ben. Sarah Calcutt, Vineyard & Winery Show Director commented: “We are delighted that Kirkland will be with us with their full range of vineyard machinery and equipment. They have made a substantial investment in the viticulture sector and visitors to the show will be able to inspect the full Kirkland range and speak with the team.”

Ozone magic In 2012, Clearthree began working with ozone as a sanitiser and leads the industry in the development of new ozone advancements and applications.

Clearthree started offering ozone as a sanitiser nearly 10 years ago, in 2012, and now leads the industry in the development of new ozone advancements and applications.

The company has received many industry awards for technology and innovation.

“Clearthree has worked closely with its winery clients across Europe, and now in the UK, to demonstrate the efficacy of ozone in winery sanitation

applications and is the leader in the production of mobile and stationary ozone sanitation systems – producing units designed to meet the needs of any size winery,” commented Colin Oakley, Managing Director of Clearthree.

Ozone is a gas made up of three oxygen molecules (O3) but is much less stable than the oxygen that exists in our atmosphere and breaks down quickly. “The ozone is generated from specialist units,

from oxygen, on demand and removes the necessity to store quantities of harmful chemicals.

It is the second most powerful sanitiser in the world more powerful than chlorine. Ozone is a powerful oxidising agent and when it meets an organic compound, a chemical reaction takes place damaging the cells and leaving a harmless substance. The O3 is soluble and can be used as a gas, but more commonly in a coldwater solution. It breaks down

after about 20 minutes or so, which makes it safe for the operators.

Ozone kills bacteria and other organisms; it leaves no residue or taint – just clean surfaces.”

The benefits of ozone in wineries: ◆ Ozone is powerful enough that organisms cannot develop a tolerance to it. ◆ Ozone kills a much broader spectrum of bacteria, fungus, moulds, yeast, spores than halogenated chemicals (chlorine, iodine, etc) and does not generate TCA precursors. ◆ Ozone is environmentally friendly, when used correctly, as it is an unstable compound reverting to oxygen, leaving no damage or any residuals. ◆ Ozone is a stand-alone organic sanitiser, is cost effective, safe to use, saves water and energy. ◆ Ozone is produced as needed on site, dissipates after use and minimises the purchase, storage, mixing and disposal of chemicals. ◆ Ozone was approved by a FDA Expert Panel as GRAS (generally recognized as safe) for use as a sanitiser in 1997 and was approved by the FDA for use with fruits, vegetables, meat, poultry, etc in June 2001 (food additive petition). ◆ Ozone was approved under USDA Organic Rule in 2000. ◆ Ozone can destroy odour causing compounds. ◆ Ozone is pH neutral, and does not change the acid/alkaline balance.

This year Clive Vickers, winemaker at Halfpenny Green Wine Estate, in south Staffordshire, is using ozonated water to wash the grapes as they come into the winery. “We have

> Clive Vickers at Halfpenny Green Wine Estate

used ozone in the winery for the past three years,” commented Clive. “We use ozonated water for cleaning winery equipment between uses and to ensure it is sanitised. At night we use ozone gas in the winery which penetrates all the nooks and crannies, removing bacteria.

“I am very happy with the results of the ozone so far, and we have saved money on hot water and steam as well. There are R&D grants available at the moment, and by logging all the ozone use, man hours etc, we have been able

to apply and make claims.

“With Clearthree we have recently set up some trials in the vineyard to use ozone for disease control, and this will be a project for next year – there is even a discussion about ozone being used to kill weeds!” added Clive.

“The aim is to eliminate the use of chemicals and improve quality of the crop,” said Colin. “Ozone has been used in vineyards in the USA, as a spray or mist in the 10 days prior to harvest to sterilise the crop which can penetrate right into the bunches,” Colin added.

Fighting frost and weeds The recently developed Fog Dragon, supplied by Bourne Engineering, based in Faversham, Kent, has been designed to protect vineyards and orchards against late spring radiation frost which accounts for the majority of frost damage in vines.

“A single Fog Dragon is able to protect 10 hectares, with minimal operational costs and maintenance,” explained Chris Baker Sales Manager, Bourne Engineering.

The Fog Dragon is a trailed combustion chamber with a pto driven fan, that creates smoke from biomass fuel, such as wood chips, which is then distributed with steam generated from a heated water tank, to form a fog. The steam increases the specific weight of the fog to provide insulating properties reducing the radiational heat loss from the ground.

“As well as producing heat, which increases ambient temperature in the crop, the Fog Dragon circulates higher warm air with the colder air nearer the ground,” Chris continued.

Tom Berry, owner of Brenley Farm, Faversham commented: “Our vines had 90% crop losses due to frost on 15 May 2020, so last winter we set out to find a frost protection method that really worked. The Fog Dragon has saved both my vines and apples – the machine has paid for itself already, in its first year, and I don’t know how I got by without it!”

The new Zanon CST is an independent rear carrier frame designed for the application of various tools for weeding the inter-row area of vineyards and orchards.

“The sturdy steel frame has adjustable height wheels and a hydraulic opening arm for the tool-holder

structure,” commented Chris. “This automatically manages the return of the tool during operation, guaranteeing precision and speed. The angle can be adjusted to adapt to any terrain. A convenient joystick allows control of the various functions from the tractor.

The basic version frame uses the tractor’s hydraulic system for quick couplings, and an independent hydraulic system kit can also be supplied. There is a wide

range of other attachments for the frame, including side blades, rotary cultivators, shoot removers, finger weeders, and single or double Rollhacke discs.

Chris Baker commented: “The team from Bourne Engineering are looking forward to welcoming both existing and new clients to our stand, to show our range of equipment for vineyards, and to discuss clients’ requirements.”

Efficient, energy saving systems Leading refrigeration experts Orchard Cooling highlight their efficient, energy saving systems to growers and winemakers.

With buyers and customers increasingly focused on environment-friendly processes, Orchard Cooling designs efficiency into every system, which has the added advantage of reducing running costs.

Based at Langley, near Maidstone in Kent, the innovative team offers a complete design and installation service for all types of cooling application and has an in-house service and maintenance team that can provide out-of-hours backup when required.

Orchard Cooling’s bespoke installations aim to reduce the impact of refrigeration systems on the environment by using eco-friendly secondary

refrigeration systems that use secondary fluids to limit the volume of HFC-type refrigerant needed in the chiller units.

The company’s unique cooler defrost system produces a 75% saving on energy, thanks to a warm fluid defrosting method using air source heat pump technology as part of a secondary cooling system.

Figures show the system can save growers thousands of pounds each year by reducing energy consumption.

While focusing on alternative solutions, Orchard Cooling still installs the DX refrigeration systems that remain popular with some smaller growers, but uses modern, more efficient refrigerants. It can also offer complete project management, including all health and safety requirements.

Growers to take advantage of expertise Growers looking for picking teams will be able to take advantage of the expertise on offer from AG Recruitment following the company’s successful opening of new offices in Ukraine.

Recruitment expert Doug Amesz, who runs AG Recruitment with wife and fellow founder Estera, has been racing against the clock after being named as one of four agencies selected by the Home Office to recruit the 30,000 workers allowed into the country this year as part of the seasonal workers pilot scheme.

“We are delighted to have been given the chance to support UK fruit and veg growers in this way

and we are excited about helping to deliver on the objectives of the scheme, although it has been a race against time,” Doug said.

That has meant setting up four new offices, recruiting and training 15 new members of his team to staff those offices and essentially setting up a new business, but the good news is that the Ukrainian workforce is, in Doug’s view, “as good as any we have recruited in recent years”.

“Next year, we’ll be casting our net even wider for workers in 2022, when we’ll be using the experience gained in Ukraine and moving into Russia with another four offices”.

Best of both worlds in mechanical leaf removal The UK’s leading specialist tractor and machinery dealership, NP Seymour, will be showcasing an interesting array of viticultural time and laboursaving equipment on its stand.

Visitors will see a Braun Alpha variable width mower, a Frost Guard with auto start, a Dualex leaf clip sensor, a Pellenc Grapes Line 80 mechanical harvester, two new generation Fendt 200 VFP tractors, a Clemens over the row multi-clean, a Braun rollhacke and Luv hoe, an OCLL NPA sprayer and a Brevi flail mower.

The dealership will also be showcasing the latest development from Germany’s leading manufacturer of specialist viticulture machinery ERO, the VITIpulse Combi Defoliator.

Having combined the pneumatic air blast and roller defoliation technology in one head, ERO is now providing growers with the ‘best of both worlds’ when it comes to mechanical leaf removal.

“Every year it seems the window for defoliation is too short and growers face great time pressure to get the job done,” said Claire Seymour, sales and marketing director at NP Seymour. “The VITIpulse Combi however can be used from flowering throughout the whole season prior to harvesting, which means that

considerably more area can be managed during the season.”

With the VITIpulse Combi a more targeted result can also be achieved and, by removing the outer leaves with the roller defoliator first, a lower level of working pressure is required from the pneumatic air blast so that there is significantly less risk of damage to the fruit.

Operators are even able to choose whether they use both systems at the same time or individually and independently from each other.

Fungal resistant hybrid varieties may be the answer to sustainable winemaking, agrochemical reductions, and reducing costs of production – but only if they produce quality wines. Vineyard finds out if the wine world bias against hybrids is starting to wane as interesting, good value PIWI wines emerge.

PIWIs are grape varieties that have been bred and selected from Vitis vinifera and non-vinifera parents, to have a high resistance to fungal diseases, as well as other attributes.

The name, Piwi is a German abbreviation for Pilzwiderstandsfähig – essentially meaning fungal resistant. Hybrids are far from new and have been grown many years, including in the UK, but the newer varieties now being bred – and their wines – are fast gaining attention, particularly overseas, alongside the push for environmental sustainability. > Sauvignac grown in Pfalz, Germany

Sam Doncaster is a British-born viticulturist who is involved with Piwi breeding programmes and field selections in Germany with Freytag Nurseries. In Sam’s view, “there are so many reasons why UK wine producers should be considering PIWI vine varieties.

We know that V. vinifera is severely challenged to provide good wine grape varieties for the UK climate, overall – so why not look elsewhere? We know that there are restrictions to V. vinifera profitability through its low yields – so why not look elsewhere? We know that V. vinifera are expensive to grow – so why not look elsewhere? We know that V. vinifera are quite

limited in their expression of flavour profile – so why not look elsewhere? And, in all honesty, what red V. vinifera variety consistently, and commercially, gives satisfaction in the UK climate?”

The Piwi’s breeding provides natural resistance to fungal diseases, which reduces the need for spraying with agrochemicals, resulting in lower tractor emissions and reduction in compaction – which can only help to encourage better soil health. “There are other advantages also,” explains Sam. “In terms of being fungal resistant, modern breeds might also allow a more secure autumnal period of ripening. This is a simple statement of comparison, where vines that show some resistance to bunch botrytis will always hold a distinct advantage over those that rot easily.

“This is not only relevant to the grape clusters, but also for the effectiveness of the leaf, where these Piwi through other forms of resistance can show better 'quality' of leaf way later into the autumn. Other matters like later bud burst might also be of merit.”

Sam added.

“I think the UK has only scratched the surface of its own wine making potential,” commented Joel Jorgensen, consultant viticulturist and MD of Veraison.

“Many of the Piwis grow well, crop reliably and yield higher than our "traditional" sparkling varieties. I have tasted many fine examples of both still and sparkling

wines made in Germany, and the UK, and there is no reason why we can't match or even improve on these.

“With climate change, and more conscious consumers, we need to future proof our vineyards and plant varieties that allow us to reduce all our inputs like pesticides, fuel, frost protection and labour,” Joel added.

Research and breeding efforts Piwi varieties are painstakingly breed interspecific hybrids. “Cross-pollination can occur naturally, but we give ‘Mother Nature’ a helping hand,” explained Volker Freytag of Freytag Nurseries, Germany. “We select for desirable characteristics from Vitis vinifera and other species of the genus Vitis and the breeding programme can take up to 30 years. Then, of course, the official approval of new varieties also takes time.

“The aim is to develop new grape varieties that will meet future challenges in the vineyard, such as resistance to disease, but equal importance is placed on the flavour profile of the resulting wine – as it has to be marketed. Piwi wines are increasingly widespread in Germany and are becoming popular in other countries. There is no point breeding these new varieties if the wine is not good to drink!” exclaimed Volker.

“We also need to recognise that all manner of horticulture and agricultural crops, not just vines, are constantly being subjected to careful breeding and selection. Of course, this is for many reasons, but in simple terms it can be summed up as 'improvement',” added Sam.

The Piwi experience

In managing vineyards for clients, Joel Jorgensen has first-hand experience of some of the Piwi varieties being grown in the UK. “So far, Sauvignac and Cabaret Noir are leaders for me, both bud late to avoid spring frosts, grow fast and upright making them easier to handle, and ripen a good two weeks ahead of Pinot Noir. Cabaret Noir reaches phenolic ripeness quickly and produces a beautiful blue/black skin colour, creating a lovely deep red wine with ripe tannins that soften the flavours nicely.

“There's a lot of hype around Piwis being disease resistant and so far, I have found them to be more

67

66 V I N E YA R D & W I N E R Y S H O W 2 0 2 1

FEATURED EXHIBITOR resistant than the likes of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Meunier however, they are not quite 'bomb-proof' and do unfortunately still need some timely treatments in wetter years.

“At Veraison, we are definitely seeing an increasing interest in Piwis, and we are trialling a few more varieties this season such as Cabernet Blanc, Divico and Rinot. So far, they are growing with ease – but the true test will be in the wines they produce. In fact, in 2022 we are planting a couple of large new vineyards with exclusively Piwis!

“Perhaps other, and more subtle, aspects of new vine breeds might include matters like canopy management,” added Sam. “There are some varieties that have a noticeable strong upright growth tendency, coupled to a less dense upper canopy growth. This could result in better photosynthesis perhaps, and ease of management.

“It might be possible to select new varieties that could be grown through mechanical means, such as 'minimal prune'. I'm certainly aware of minimal prune Cabernet Blanc being grown in the Pfalz, where the cost of growing is very much kept in check...this being modern business.

“Other people might seek varieties that allow spur pruning, on account of basal buds being more fruitful, and thus offering management options that most V. vinifera cannot give in a cool climate.

“Like V. vinifera yields from new varieties can be variable, but certainly new varieties can offer higher yields than V. vinifera varieties in the UK. Generally,

with Piwis, people find that it is convenient to start with an excess of crop loading, and then thin down in a controlled fashion. Over time people learn what is a commercial balance between levels of ripeness, and cost of production.

“This year there have been devastating periods of downy mildew infections across Europe, with dirty brown blocks of vines common place – but not so with the Piwi varieties, not to the same degree.” Sam added.

> Volker Freytag, Valentin Blattner and Sam Doncaster in a German Sauvignac vineyard, in October

The gatekeepers

Despite these advantages, the reception to Piwis in the wine world has been a challenge, maybe their reputation has been darkened by the hybrids of the past. However, a few UK producers are managing to establish their wines in the market, including Sov’ran Cabernet Noir 2018, from Divergent Drinks, the producers of the Charmat method sparkling wine, Fitz.

“Sov’ran is our winemaker Gareth Davies’ passion project,” explained Oliver Peniston-Bird Head of Sales and Marketing at Divergent Drinks.

“2018 was a fantastic vintage and we had the pleasure of processing some phenomenal Cabernet Noir. This variety has great resistance to the challenging UK climate and produces fruit that allows us to create some truly interesting and delicious wines. Produced in exceptionally small volume, Sov’ran Cabernet Noir 2018 leads with cassis, cigar box and mocha on the nose. Structured, yet delicate tannins give way to stewed plum, red cherry, baking spice and violet, with a long and supple finish. We have had such a great response from consumers and retailers and are looking forward to producing more vintages of Sov’ran and extending the range in the future,” added Oliver.

“I think that PIWIs have real potential in the market,” commented Paul Harley, Wine Business Programme Manager at Plumpton College. “What will hold them back in the short to medium term is the lack of awareness around the names of varieties and what they would be expected to taste of.

“New varieties and flavours naturally appeal to the adventurous wine consumer, but the majority of UK wine buyers currently want certainty and reliability – so like to play safe with regions and varieties that they already understand. It is about perceived risk when purchasing wines from novel varieties.

“However, it is great to see exciting producers out there – making first successful forays – Sov’ran for

> Valentin Blattner, Swiss grape geneticist, grape breeder and winemaker, carrying out selection for breeding

example. I think it will be interesting to see how quickly other producers come on stream with products and when the larger retailers (multiples, independents and supermarkets) start to have them listed as part of their range.” Paul added.

“As a wine buyer the most important thing to me is being able to offer the customer value for money,” explained Elizabeth Kelly MW, Wine Buyer, Majestic, “and so that is what I would be expecting from any wine I'm tasting from any grape.

“Grape varieties are very important to customers – they have become synonymous with style. But customers are willing to try – if you think about the diversity of Italian grape varieties, and varieties that customers are currently buying compared to even ten years ago, it is possible to get customers to accept something new – IF the quality is there.

The Piwi names are both familiar but different, so they could be confusing, therefore it is important to give good messaging to customers about what wines taste like. As an example, it wasn’t too long ago that customers would not have recognised Bacchus – and now it is synonymous with English still wines.

“I think that anything that reduces the amount of spraying required in the vineyard is a very good thing – protecting the health of our soils is essential for the future – as there is evidence of healthy soils providing better carbon capture. But these varieties cannot be used just for the sake of more sustainable viticulture

– the resulting wines must be good. I am a massive champion of sustainability in English vineyards but if the vineyard is not producing a quality saleable wine, then it will not have an economically sustainable result,” said Elizabeth.

Next steps – call for trials

“We all have a lot of learning to do,” commented Joel. “Growing the grapes is one thing, but our winemakers will need to learn how to work with these new varieties, experiment with different techniques and yeasts, and learn how emphasise the grapes best features. It would be great to see some of the big players pave the way with a few large blocks and get consumers excited about what else the UK has to offer.

“These new breeds of vines sometimes pack such a punch of flavour and it’s difficult to know how to tone this down,” commented Sam. “However, these varieties can lend themselves well to being consistent backups in the production of wines made from blending in some part. I recently had a bottle of a UK produced Sauvignon Blanc, which I heard had some 10% or 20% Ravel Blanc in it – a good wine!

Ravel Blanc is an old variety – if I can use that term in an ever-changing world – that almost cannot fail to produce well-ripened grapes in cool years,” Sam added.

James has always loved digging deeper. It inspired his first career in archaeology and later, while following his passion for great wines, inspired a wish to be part of the winemaking industry.

While studying for his BSc (Hons) in Viticulture and Oenology at Plumpton College, he worked for various vineyards and recognised a growing demand for viticultural services to the everexpanding English wine industry. With the help of a fellow student, he founded Vine-Works Ltd in 2006.

After 15 years, his company has established over 175 vineyards in the UK and continues to offer a complete Vineyard Establishment service, Vineyard Management and an online retail shop.

Setting up a vineyard: The costs and practical considerations Establishing a vineyard can be a daunting task.

There are thousands of decisions to be made. Get it wrong and the costs can spiral out of control with the future viability of the project potentially being considerably compromised. This is an opportunity for those considering planting a new vineyard to get it right from the start and to establish a realistic budget that will see the project over the finish line.

WineGB best practice guidelines There is a wealth of evidence-based research from around the world that highlights the economic importance of wine tourism for wineries. The UK already benefits from a growing global reputation for high quality wine, and as an emerging wine tourism region there is every opportunity to establish high quality tourism credentials to attract more domestic

and international visitors and become one of the great wine regions of the world.

This seminar will outline what WineGB is developing within this sector and provide vital insight in understanding the wine tourist as well as bringing in a tangible example of best practice in the collaboration of wineries to bring even greater benefit to a region and the individual businesses involved.

Matt’s passion for viticulture started in the Clare Valley and Murray River regions in Australia. He then enrolled at Plumpton on a 2-year HND in Wine Studies and graduated in 2002, gaining the prize for the Best Practical Student. During that time, he started working at Ridgeview Wine Estate, Sussex and was appointed as Vineyard Manager soon after graduating. Matt feels privileged to have been part of the amazing Ridgeview family business for nearly 20 years. Also, to have seen the growth, and enjoy the successes, not only of Ridgeview but the whole industry.

Securing sustainable yields in a UK vineyard Being able to hit vineyard yield targets from one season to the next underpins a productive wine industry. Conversely, large yield fluctuations and, particularly, low yields threaten the sustainability of the UK wine industry and have economic implications that resonate through the entire production and supply chain. The formation of yield potential and its realisation in the grapevine is a complex process that occurs over two seasons and is highly sensitive to fluctuations in both temperature and light. Added to this are abiotic stresses (e.g. frost) and biotic stresses (e.g. disease), which can significantly reduce yield. With this in mind, managing yield in vineyards is multi-faceted. This presentation will explore the critical factors involved in managing yield in UK vineyards.

Quality vs yield vs style and yield management for organic vineyards Together, Alex Valsecchi and Matt Strugnell will

focus on achieving yield and quality in a challenging climate and share their experiences from both a conventional and organic/biodynamic perspective.

Dott. Alessandra Valsecchi, Vineyard Manager, Albury Organic Vineyard Alex obtained a higher degree in Science of Agronomy, and specialised in Fruit Culture, Viticulture and Tree Nursery Management at the University of Milan in 1996.

She moved to the UK soon after and for three years worked at Hillier Nurseries where she mastered all aspects of nursery management of ornamental trees and shrubs from propagation to distribution.

Alex then worked at the Royal Horticultural Society, Wisley Gardens from 1999-2009, and managed the team in the Fruit Department. Alex has also been actively involved in the development of the trainees and the public, through masterclasses and practical demonstrations. She was responsible for the development of the viticulture sector via planting a small demonstrative vineyard and undertaking regular working bursary/sabbatical visits to New Zealand.

By the end of 2009 Alex started her own business

and joined Albury Vineyard as a consultant and vineyard manager where she developed an in-depth knowledge and practice of organic and biodynamic viticulture. Whilst at Albury Alex became External Examiner for the viticulture section at Plumpton College and more recently was proudly elected Committee Member of the Fruit, Vegetable and Herb Committee of the Royal Horticultural Society.

Emma Rice, Director & Head Winemaker, Hattingley Valley Wines Ltd

David Cowderoy, Managing Director, BevTech Ltd and consultant winemaker

Since helping to establish Hattingley Valley in 2008, alongside owner Simon Robinson, Emma has been at the forefront of the English wine industry. Giving her time to the industry she was on the committee for the WineGB South East (SEVA as it was then) for many years and was also involved with the International Cool Climate Wine Symposium that was held in the UK in May 2016.

Emma is now on the Wines of Great Britain Management Advisory Committee, as Chair of the Winemaking Working Group, and as a member of the Regulation Working Group, helping to steer the national body during a period of rapid growth in the industry.

As Head Winemaker at Hattingley Valley, Emma has not only made numerous award winning wines for

David started his winemaking career in England, after completing post-graduate studies at Roseworthy College, Australia. He is a second generation UK wine producers, having been born at Rock Lodge Vineyard, West Sussex, planted by his father in the 1960s.

David was central to the formation of Chapel Down, where he was winemaker till late 1999, while also working as a consultant winemaker in Argentina, Chile, France and Romania. In 2000 he joined Bottle Green as a group winemaker, then Waverly Vintners in a similar role, winemaking around the globe. In the last 30 years David has made wine in 14 countries, 30 regions and worked in more wineries than he can remember, providing him a wealth of knowledge and experience.

How to do MLF: Inoculated or spontaneous

Hattingley, but also for many contract winemaking clients. Described by Matthew Jukes as ‘having multidimensional skill of extremely high-level vinous intellect’ (Vineyard Magazine, Oct 2019) Emma takes as much care with her clients’ wines as her own.

Why do MLF: The benefits and risks

Malolactic fermentation: why, when and how Acid Management is a key part of winemaking in a cool climate and there is no more critical decision to make than whether or not you do a malolactic fermentation.

The decision to do it or not will affect your house style but there are many choices to be made during the process, not just whether you do or not, but how much of your blend will go through, how to do it and when to do it. This session will attempt to lay out and explain the choices and options within the parameters given to us by nature.
