Bright and wonderfully unusual, with wild raspberry and redcurrant alongside grapefruit, mandarin peel and delicate floral notes. The palate is fresh and tangy, with crunchy red fruit, citrus zest and a gently textured, savoury feel from its time on lees. Pale in colour but full of personality, this is a distinctive expression of Pinot Meunier that sits somewhere between conventional white and rosé.
Controversy is made from Pinot Meunier grown in Sussex, around 35 miles from Blackbook's Battersea winery. The grapes are hand-picked and sorted in the vineyard before being whole-bunch pressed. Fermentation takes place with indigenous yeasts in concrete eggs and old Burgundy barrels, followed by natural malolactic fermentation. The wine is then aged for seven months with frequent lees stirring.
