Founded by Richard and Joy Morris near Monmouth, the estate has earned an international reputation for its uncompromising approach to biodynamic viticulture and minimal-intervention winemaking. Every decision in the vineyard is guided by a commitment to soil health, biodiversity and expressing the unique character of this remarkable Welsh site.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe home vineyard sits on ancient mudstone, sandstone and limestone soils, with south-facing slopes providing ideal exposure in Wales' cool climate. Sheltered by the Monnow Valley rain shadow, the site enjoys lower rainfall than much of the surrounding region, helping grapes ripen with exceptional balance and freshness. Fermentations rely on indigenous yeasts, sulphur is kept to an absolute minimum, and wines are bottled without fining or filtration, allowing every bottle to capture the purity and vitality of the vineyard.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e10% ABV\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Monty Wines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57879113105791,"sku":null,"price":24.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0075\/8779\/0907\/files\/CA89A026-7687-437E-81D4-4521AFEAA8B0.jpg?v=1783000617","url":"https:\/\/www.montywines.co.uk\/products\/ancre-hill-pet-nat-white","provider":"Monty Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
