Description
Fin Wines, a fermentation collective, launched in January 2020 with a range of wines, ciders and piquettes. Fin Wines is producing young, fresh and most importantly fun drinks with an emphasis on drinkability. We are doing this a very lo-fi way in terms of minimal additions, no filtering, spontaneous fermentation, with minimal faffing in the winery.

Fin Wines consists of JonJo McEvoy, Oliver Johns, and Angus Hean. Fin was organically conceived, born of our love for tasty wines and ciders.

Sample thanks to danlo. Cheers mate. Misty golden yellow pour, floral wild funk nose. Taste presents a delicate dry floral fruity character, apple skins emerging, not particularly fleshy but has a nice fine fruitiness, mild gooseberry and white grape impressions. Interesting with good drinkability. Nice.
