Facts about a fictional estate, written for this sample site.
Still House
What the press leaves, the still keeps
After harvest, the skins and seeds from pressing go next door to the Still House. Our distiller turns them into a clear grape brandy, and turns estate grape spirit into the base of our gin. Apples from a neighbor's orchard become a brandy we rest in our old red-wine barrels.
Small pours, a glass wall onto the copper, and a distiller who likes questions.
