Description

Tillingham Qvevri Orange greets you with a gorgeous golden orange colour and expressive notes of citrus peel and stone fruit, followed by a refreshing salinity on the nose. The palate is zesty and vibrant, with layers of texture and a persistent finish. This outstanding English orange wine was fermented in qvevri - large clay amphorae shipped all the way from Georgia.

One of the few natural wine producers in England, Tillingham has a unique winemaking approach. This wine is a blend of Bacchus, Ortega, Muller Thurgau and Madeleine Angevine, all in equal proportions. Each of the four varieties was vinified separately; the time on the skins varied anywhere from a month to four months. The wines were then aged in a mixture of old oak barrels and foudre for a further 4 months. The final blend was made in a stainless-steel tank. Tillingham Qvevri Orange was bottled unfined and unfiltered, with only a tiny addition of sulphur.

Tillingham

Hidden in the East Sussex countryside, Tillingham is one of the very few natural wine producers in England. Ben Wallgate manages his vineyards according to organic and biodynamic principles. The wines are made with minimum intervention. Part of the grapes are fermented in qvevri, Georgian clay amphorae buried underground in a 19th century oast house. Made with a deep connection to land, these are truly authentic wines. 2020 is the first vintage produced of the estate-grown grapes.

Bacchus

England's answer to Sauvignon Blanc, Bacchus is an aromatic white grape, making bright and fresh white wines with plenty of aromas. Bacchus is a relatively young grape. It was created in Germany in 1933 by crossing other local varieties – Muller-Thurgau and another cross, Riesling-Silvaner. However Bacchus did not have much luck in his motherland, Germany, where Riesling reigns all the best vineyard sites. Instead, the new grape found its second home in England.

Also in the blend: Madeleine Angevine, Muller-Thurgau, Ortega
