Our wine is hand plunged in open fermenters producing a distinctive soft texture, which is gently enhanced by using only the finest French oak barrels in the wine aging process.

WINEFRONT: Mike Bennie – Rated: 95+ Points
“Natural wine from before natural wine became a thing – that’s Highbank. Long term biodynamic-organic farmed, wild ferment, only additive is (low-ish) SO2. Such brilliant, wonderful wines here. Oh yeah. Here’s a seriously good wine. It’s not quite to the epic level of the 2014 but it’s close. Succulent feel, medium weight, really pure fruit character, light sheen of oak spice a whisper in the wine. Pretty cassis and lavender characters,
light green herb and pepper elements, some graphite minerality and a moreish, fresh feel. There’s a faint meaty character to the wine too. Such detail and interest, such awesome deliciousness and a general sense that you’re drinking something extraordinarily fine.”
