Don't Feed the Ponies Little Bee 2024

This is our skin-contact (orange) Pinot Gris — 100% fermented on skins and made with minimal intervention from start to finish. It’s complex, textured and full of energy.

The nose is layered with ruby grapefruit, tangerine peel and blood orange. On the palate, you’ll find more grapefruit and sour stone fruit, supported by soft, grippy tannins, taut acidity and a long, generous finish.

Part of our Don’t Feed The Ponies range, this wine celebrates the wilder side of winemaking — and supports Dartmoor’s roaming ponies with 25p from every bottle going to the Dartmoor Preservation Association.

Wine Making

The grapes were hand harvested in October before we let the juice soak in contact with the skins for just under three weeks to extract flavour, colour and tannin before transferring the free run juice into stainless steel where we waited for the fermentation to take place naturally by relying upon indigenous vineyard yeasts. The wine is bottled without any fining or filtration in order to maximise flavour and texture and can therefore appear slightly hazy with some harmless sediment.
