From Hencote Winemaker, Gavin Patterson, comes Stonebird, an artisan wine label of grapes sourced from the rocky, South African slopes of the Hemel en Aarde Valley.

Vinified entirely in the Italian terra cotta Amphorae now used in the Hencote winery in Shrewsbury, Stonebird Chardonnay shows a palate with effortless poise between breadth and freshness, with elegant length.

As Winemaker Gavin intends, the Hencote amphorae used in the Stonebird range allows for unaffacted expression, naturally achieved textures and a true pathway for what nature provides, from the soil to the glass.
