59% Reichensteiner, 39% Madeleine Angevine, and 2% Cabernet Cortis from Kent and Herefordshire, England.
Strawberry • red cherry • fennel • foaming
The red-skinned Cabernet Cortis was macerated for two days in a closed vessel before being pressed and co-fermented with the white grapes in stainless steel using wild yeasts. Racked off its gross lees to prevent any gushing when opened, this gossamer-light sparkler completes its fermentation directly in the bottle to create foaming, mouth-filling bubbles.
Established by Tim Wildman MW in 2021, Lost in a Field is a dedicated mission to rescue the fast-disappearing heritage vine crossings planted across the UK by optimistic amateurs during the 1960s, 70s, and 80s. These early pioneers operated on a tiny, grassroots scale, cultivating small vine-gardens and making wine in sheds and garages before the modern commercial industry took over. Tim and his team actively embrace this historic, have-a-go legacy, translating old heritage fruit into vibrant, low-intervention sparkling bottles.
