Sugrue Zodo MV

Winemaker Dermot, we think is among the very best. He is known for making the wines at Wiston Estate and makes wines for many other English producers. He's a bit of a legend and a great friend of ours. 

Following on from a 100-bottle prototype, this is the first official release of a Sugrue zero dosage wine, which they affectionately call Zodo.  

A blend of 60% Chardonnay and 40% Pinot Noir from their own Storrington and Mount Harry vineyard. It is a multi-vintage wine made mostly with 2014 grapes and the addition of 2011 & 2009.

Part of the wine is fermented in barrel with no malolactic fermentation and the other portion in stainless steel with malolactic fermentation. 

The released wine has 1.6g/l of residual sugar and it is dry but not aggressive. Ripe and soft from time spent on lees, Zodo is a wine with fabulous balance.
