great wines take time
In 2022 a small group of experts and friends in the wine business, both in the UK and in Europe decided that there needed to be renewed ‘focus’ on the ‘magic’ that happens in great wines with the alchemy of ‘time’.
Sure, we all understood the need for all vintners to clear their cellars to make room for the future vintages. But somehow many in the wine business and most importantly a new generation of wine drinkers had forgotten or never known the glory of what ‘ageing in the bottle’ does to a wine.
