Spook Hill Wines was conceived in 1999 when a group of red wine enthusiasts progressed from grapegrowing through to wine production.

 

With successive vintages,  the winemaking has remained a small scale affair with a hands on approach throughout.

 

Using traditional methods, the grapes are hand picked then gently crushed followed by open fermentation.

 

Hand operated basket-pressing is used to extract colour and flavour from the skins. The wine is aged in American Oak barrels for a minimum of  18 months.

 

This traditional, hands-on process from vines to wine uses minimum intervention with an aim to produce wines of  full fruit flavour and soft oak character.
