Jonty's Ducks 'Pekin Red'

Organic Red Wine

Owner Johnathan Grieve employs a “posse” of ducks, which patrol the vineyard looking for and destroying snails, which eat the vines. The ducks are an eco-friendly way to avoid using harmful chemical poisons to kill pests and act as the guardians of the vines on Avondale. 

13 to 15-year-old vines, cultivated organically.

Tasting Notes: Lots of blackcurrants, and liquorice, with a hint of dark chocolate and ground coffee. The wine has an explosion of fruit on the palate and well-integrated, elegant tannins to support it. The layers of fruit and silky finish will leave you wanting more, whilst a lingering aftertaste makes for a rather attractive finish.
