Product Details

Floral and expressive, with elderflower and white peach alongside white pepper, sweet spice and touches of tropical fruit. Bright acidity keeps everything fresh, while fermentation partly in old French oak and seven months on gross lees give the wine a gently rounded, textured feel. Vibrant and distinctive, with considerably more depth than the light, aromatic style often associated with Bacchus.

How It's Made

Tamesis is made from Bacchus grown at Forty Hall Vineyard in Enfield, London's only certified organic vineyard. The wine is fermented with natural yeasts in a combination of old French oak barrels and stainless steel, followed by naturally occurring malolactic fermentation. It then spends seven months on gross lees before being bottled unfined and unfiltered.

About Blackbook Winery

Blackbook Winery
Battersea, London England Founded 2017

Blackbook Winery is an urban winery based beneath a railway arch in Battersea, London. Founded in 2017 by Sergio and Lynsey Verrillo, it works with carefully selected English growers to produce distinctive small-batch wines, with cool-climate Chardonnay and Pinot Noir at the heart of the project.

Winemaker Sergio Verrillo trained in Viticulture and Oenology at Plumpton College before working harvests in England, California, Burgundy, South Africa and New Zealand. At Blackbook, he combines traditional winemaking with a minimalist approach, using indigenous yeasts and low sulphur where possible to produce wines that express the character of the fruit rather than conforming to a single house style.
