This natural fruit wine is made exclusively from quince, hand picked in orchards on the banks of the river Brue in Somerset. The quince's rose-like floral aroma and unique tartness make a truly distinctive, full flavoured drink with a long fruity finish.

Acidic and tart it goes well with strong cheese or fatty meat.

750ml bottle from Pilton. Yellow golden colour, short-lived fizzy white foam head and aroma of quince, fuel, solventy. Taste is sweet and tart, mellow and astringent, quince juice and vegetal, fruity and fleshy, woody and solvent hints, with some underying quincey fruitiness and sourness. Oily mouthfeel, medium bodied, low to medium carbonation, dry fruity quincey sourish finish. Very sippable.

375ml bottle. Clear golden yellow appearance, strong riesling like aroma, petrol, rich quince. Taste brings a blossoming array of vibrant quince with an oily wine-like palate. Exceptional crystal clear quince notes. Excellent sipper.
