Black Mountain, Col Fondo Red 2021

60% of the blend is Pinot Meunier from 2019. That was the entirety of a tiny 2019 harvest. It had a couple days maceration, and was pressed to barrel in November '19. The other 40% the last of the Pinot Noir and Meunier from 2018, a couple days macerating, pressed to tank for about 24 months, blended with the '19 Meunier barrel in early 2021.

Mark decided to experiment with mixing some local honey with a bucket from the barrel, and bottling it in May 2021 to spark secondary fermentation. Disgorged in November 2022, and it's zero sulphur."

Black Mountain is the tiny organic wine project of Emma and Mark Smith whose winery is located in a small shed down a narrow country lane in site of the Brecon Beacons. In total they have three hectares of vines planted with a combination of Pinots Noir, Pinot Meunier, Chardonnay, Solaris and Cab Cortis on shallow clay soils over loamy red sandstone.
