Tasting
Black Betty was the first lamb born in our vineyards. Our light red is named after her, and as tends to happen with lambs, it has changed a bit over the years. Domina and Regent normally make dark, muscular reds. We're interested in their lighter side, and that takes a small trick. We press the Regent straight away and pour its juice over whole bunches of Domina picked shortly after. A few days later everything is pressed. The wine picks up colour and some structure but hardly any tannin. After ageing in large old casks, a small splash of Pinot Noir joins the following summer. Black Betty 2024 is juicy and fruit-led, with red fruit, a bit of spice and acidity that keeps it fresh. Best slightly chilled. Easy-going, but not without character, not even on the second glass.
