We've been following the work of Dave Morris for over twenty years, since I first heard talk of his former project Ancre Hill turning to Biodynamics at his insistence all the way back then. (the first I'd heard of this farming system). He had been working at a large sparkling wine company in England and saw the devastation the chemicals wrought on the soil, inspiring him to learn about biodynamics. Over more recent years Dave has started his own project, Mountain People wines, making wines from his own small vineyard in Monmouthshire and working as a winemaker for more progressive small vineyards principally based around Wales and Somerset. As we have seen the growth of UK winemaking, consistently I've always been enchanted by his, straightforwardness in talking about the wines, his knowledge and of course been impressed by the wines produced.

On a recent visit I was told of his new project in conjunction with George Price of Mayland vineyard, a blackcurrant farming family that had planted 1.2 hectares of vines, no-till farming without herbicides or pesticides. Dave & George have decided to team up, Dave making the wines with George's fruit. We are delighted to start distributing these wines, some of the most impressive we have tasted from these shores.
