An Baile Rua, the red farmstead, is where Simon Neville has farmed for some forty years. Five miles north of Wexford town - a stone’s throw from the Blackwater - his land sits on the Seafield series derived from sand & mudstones – its sandy, course texture makes for a challenging terroir in drier years and fruitier, more floral spirit.

Appearance: Amber hue.
Nose: A mid summers garden in bloom, marzipan, honey, heather, dry clay, rhubarb, fennel, orange zest, barley, sherry and rose water.
Taste: White pepper, sherbet, orange marmalade, dark chocolate, stewed rhubarb that’s sticky, fizzy cherry cola, fresh bread loaf, bell peppers and clove sweets.
