Blackbook Winery
Founded in 2017 by Sergio & Lynsey Verillo, the Blackbook winery occupies a unique space under a Victorian Railway arch in Battersea, London. A micro-negociant, they specialise in cool climate, still expressions of pinot noir and chardonnay, working with vineyard parcels in the surrounding countryside of Southern England. They also look to experiment and have amassed a glowing reputation and loyal following in a short period.
Description
"The Pinot Noir for the 'Nightjar' were picked from the Clayhill Vineyard then fermented in the producer's winery in Battersea, London. 30% whole-bunch fermentation gave the 2020 vintage a vibrantly perfumed nose of red roses, smoked plum and cherry liqueur, spiced with fragrant herbs and pepper. Minty red berry fruits on the palate, with a hint of preserved cherry. Aged in 5-10 year old Burgundy barrels for 9 months. Look out for the 2018 'Reserve' version of the Nightjar, to be released next year." Decanter
