Blacksmith Wines
Tremayne Smith grew up in East London and studied to be a chef. Influenced by his father's love of wine he then decided to take up a career in winemaking and graduated from Elsenburg College with a degree in cellar technology at the end of 2007. After an internship at De Trafford he was employed full time as the assistant winemaker and vineyard manager for Sijnn later Mullineux and now as winemaker at Fable. In 2014 Tremayne started his own project - The Blacksmith which is still a very small production label using cultivars that he has a great respect and appreciation for. What inspired The Blacksmith was working with cultivars such as Cinsault Carignan and Grenache both locally and during his travels abroad. The Blacksmith's philosophy is to make natural wines that are both appealing and soul-satisfying.
Description
The sentiment of Flesh and Bone was to use the grape in its entirety, and let the process naturally unfold to deliver a juice true to form – skin on seed, with fleshy nectar combining all the elements in a discerning handshake.
Food Pairing
