Behind the scenes at Ancre Hill Vineyard

Transcript

00:00Right, we are at Anker Hill's purpose-built sustainable winery.

00:07It's built using store-bought insulation, also with a glass roof.

00:11And we use a lot of different vessels in the winery to be flexible,

00:16every element. So we've got an Austrian oak foudre,

00:21stainless steel, and a concrete egg.

00:26Great, like, thermal properties, and quite interesting the way that the wine moves,

00:31and especially your lees as well, the sediment, in this type of shape.

00:36So that, and then also concrete cubes.

00:41So, again, great for, like, fermentation and for storage.

00:46And also, we use

00:51500 litre oak.

00:56Majority of it is Austrian oak.

01:01And we like that, because it's quite lightly toasted, it's very delicate, the oak.

01:06So it respects the fruit, and it doesn't dominate the wine.

01:11And here is one of our wines that we make, our orange wine.

01:16This is usually from Chardonnay and Albariño.
