Westwell Ortega
SUSTAINABLE
Peaches and grapefruit on the nose, medium bodied white wine, with a dry, fresh, and ‘zingy’ length. Ortega is a German grape variety and a popular choice in UK vineyards. It creates light, fresh, mineral styles of wine, almost like a Muscadet or Picpoul de Pinet.
Westwell Wine Estate, a south facing slope on chalk soil in the Kent Downs planted with Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, and Ortega. Adrian Pike purchased Westwell Estate in 2017 and is joined by viticulturist Marcus Goodwin who was at Davenport Vineyards for over 20 years.
With their first year spent getting used to new surroundings, Westwell took things a little more experimental in 2017, and then further still in 2018. Opting to reduce the sprays from 4 times a year, to 2 times a year to, in 2019 only once a year (in Spring) he is working practically organically. They will not be certified, as this is just too much of a risk in such a marginal climate, but will always opt for the most sustainable option.
