Cendre, 2022

Volcanic mountain white from 1,070 metres on Etna, pressed straight off its skins and aged a year in chestnut barrels. Ripe nectarine and ginger, then a dry, gently bitter snap.

A white from a single plot at 1,070 metres on the north slope of Mount Etna, made by Ginger Ringer and Romain Cole, a French couple who swapped Paris for Sicily in 2021. Pressed straight off the skins and aged a year in chestnut barrels. Ripe nectarine and melon, a warm touch of ginger and honey, then fresh acidity and a dry, slightly bitter finish. The name means ash, after the fine volcanic deposit some bottles carry.
