Still Life: New from Domaine Hugo

 

DOMAINE HUGO - HUGO STEWART & DANIEL HAM
ENGLAND, SOUTH WEST, WILTSHIRE

Here's a rare one from Domaine Hugo! A wine we've been eagerly anticipating since we were first lucky enough to try it, we're pleased to be releasing the one-off cuvee: TWO TIMES A HALF

After the blend for the 2020 traditional method was finalised, Hugo & Dan kept aside two barrels of the wine. Either for a future experiment or as reserve for another vintage, it never hurts to have spare wine tucked away.

With the barrels not being topped up over their 2 years of ageing, a little flor had begun to develop. Enjoying the progression of the wine so much, they decided to bottle some as a limited release: half of each barrel (hence the name)was assembled and bottled on August 12, 2022, whilst the other halves were combined and saved as reserve wine for the future.

With a total of only one barrel (or two half-barrels...) produced, we can welcome the first still wine to be released from the Domaine Hugo project! Individually labelled with handmade paper produced from textile scraps in Manchester. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

Available now!

A Tasting at Ducksoup with Jonas Brand

 

On Monday, January 22 we'll be teaming up with our pal Roland Wines for our first tasting of the year at Ducksoup‌ Soho ! A tasting for the trade, from 10am until 4pm, please RSVP if you'd like to attend.

We're very pleased to also have Jonas Brand with us for the day, to open as many of the Brand‌ Bros wines as we can.

If you haven't been lucky enough to meet Jonas and hear firsthand his enthusiasm and knowledge for agriculture and winemaking, we'd heartily recommend jumping at the chance. Those who have had the opportunity will know this isn't one to miss.

We look forward to seeing you there!
