October tasting
Meet Nick - the Man Behind Troupe Wines
Thurs 3rd Oct. 6.30pm
Sometimes wineries fall into the trap of repetition and feeling the need to 'keep on brand' stylistically - sometimes the next generation is coming through and needs a release valve from being under the parents' business control and sometimes winemakers just need a push to release their creativity when they doubt themselves. Thus Troupe was born.
Working alongside winemakers, Nick Jones goes in and digs around in the cellar to find a barrel that sparks an interest - something delicious that for whatever reason the winery doesnt think it can release. Nick then brands and releases these wines under the Troupe label. Always delicious, always super limited releases.
We are really pleased to welcome Nick to talk us through this exciting project with a sneak peek tasting of the upcoming 3rd (and 1st red) release made in collaboration with Rainer Schnaitmann. We will pour a selection of Troupe Wines and others made by the same winemakers in comparison.
Our tastings are relaxed group events where we open a range of wines or ciders to explore a theme, region or style. We usually taste 5-6 bottles, with some snacks available too. The tasting and talk itself will typically take about 1.5 hours, with questions afterwards. After the tasting you're welcome to stay for more chat, drinks & nibbles if you'd like (closing 10pm).
