Friends of the Farm | Red Wine - Field Blend 2025

Best served chilled! The first offering from the Elvis & Kresse regenerative vineyard, vintage 2025, includes a light and vibrant red. The incredibly vivid colouring of the wine is testament to the quality of the grapes grown in our chemical free, ecology first, fully regenerative vineyard: not a single chemical has put on these grapes or land during any part of the growing or making process... GUARANTEED! This single estate, mid-alcohol (8.5% ABV) red is made in England entirely on site at New Barns Farm, the Elvis & Kresse headquarters. The vines were planted in 2022 and these grapes were hand-picked in October 2025 and taken directly to our on-site, boutique winery to start the wine making process. We pressed these with our own feet and because we do not apply any chemicals to our grapes the autochthonous yeast (naturally occurring native yeast) is all we need for the grapes to naturally ferment. This wine was fermented entirely on the skins before a gentle press. The grapes used to create this wine are almost entirely Pinotin, with a small amount of Cabaret Noir. Both grape varieties are naturally fungal resistant and love to grow in England's cool, damp, maritime climate. We love to serve this red chilled. Our expert taster offered these notes: "The nose is sour cherry and currant with the pithy quality of crushed red stone fruit. There is black tea, dry clay and a slight herbaceous note - leafy but not green (which is a big win)." We all agreed that it is light enough to enjoy as a breakfast wine or vin de soif. Do not open this alone, we made it for you to share with your favourite people - eating tapas, home-made thin crust pizza, summer salads and BBQ chicken, grilled asparagus and charcuterie. Most recently we shared it on a boat, in Studland, eating classic chips from the local chippie and enjoying the sunset.
