In Paul's wordsWhy The Warren
It is great to work with someone who has their fingers in many pies, locally, bringing together local producers and people who are interested in healthy local food. Well created, well crafted, and then paired extremely well with local wines. It is very exciting.

Tasting notes
“There is a wonderful sort of ocean freshness that hits you first, followed by something deeper, a wet green landscape glinting in late summer sun, quince in hard-boiled sweets format.
Light bodied, medium plus acidity, good body, weight, conviction and viscosity to this vintage (probably because of the higher ABV scaffolding), the acidity feels harmonious. I did detect faintly a deeper grain note, but the nose really is dominated by surprisingly exotic fruit. Lots of guava, paw-paw, mouth-coating.
Would very much love tomato and Italian herb, elderflower, fennel, strong cheese and alliums. Romanesco, sweet pickling, kewpie mayo. Brilliant wine.”
