About the Wine
A blanc de noir of Pinot Noir - white wine from red grapes! Fresh with lots of salty citrus fruit and bright minerality and just a touch of red berry fruit. The juice for this wine was originally destined to be made into a traditional method sparkling wine, but once the guys tasted it, they were so happy with it that they kept it still. Bright, light and clocking in at just 10% ABV, it goes down a little too easily.
Made from 100% Pinot Noir, the grapes were harvested by hand, pressed directly as whole bunches then aged in 225l barrels for 9 months before bottling.
It’s still early days for this exciting new UK based project, we look forward to see what happens next.
About Cowboys Don't Have Curls
It’s been an exciting few years on the UK natural wine scene, and it’s great to see another project come together. Cowboys Don’t Have Curls is the project of Welsh winemaker Dave Morris (Mountain People Wines) and Somerset grower George Price (Mayland Vineyard). The duo are creating impressively detailed wines using fruit from our very own shores.
The grapes for the Cowboys project all comes from George’s tiny family-run fruit farm in Somerset, which has just 1.2 hectares of vines (no-till farming without herbicides or pesticides), then Dave makes the wine. Dave’s winemaking is typically straightforward, whites direct pressed whole bunch, reds given whole bunch maceration.
They are another shining example of the proactive, sustainable winemaking in the UK, it’s a joy to see! We look forward to seeing what happens next.
