"A tiny, hilltop vineyard a short drive from larger producers, run by vintner Andrew Pirie; its effervescent, graceful sparkling wines are approachable on release yet show clear potential to improve with age. Pirie notes that his first vintage was in 2010 and that none of his wines have yet reached their peak, suggesting exciting upside for collectors and visitors alike." - Besha Rodell Besha Rodell Besha Rodell is a James Beard Award-winning writer, editor, and restaurant critic with two decades of experience and an international following.
