Winemaker Derek Barnett’s story began with a childhood home in Swinford, England, affectionately named Meldville. Always encouraged to be true to my nature growing up, he adopted the same philosophy in winemaking. Wines are crafted in a time honoured way with little intervention, a key to open the narrative and allow the vines to tell their own story. Soft sketching and a watercolour style illustration brings us back to an earlier time in Derek’s life.
