X is for… Xarel-lo. A white grape variety originating in Catalonia, Spain and one of the main three grape varieties used in the production of Cava, alongside Macabeo and Parellada. @MontMarcal_SAL will be showing their range, come & try them! #EllisWines200

Y is for… Yeast. Yeast is a key element in the wine fermentation process, converting the sugars from the grapes to alcohol. Lees (dead yeast) ageing creates texture, body and flavours such as toast, biscuit or brioche. #EllisWines200 📸:Maria Blackstone at Bluebell Vineyard

Z is for… Zweigelt. Also known as Rotburger, Zweigelt is a relatively new Austrian grape created in 1922 by Friedrich Zweigelt. We have a new tasty Zweigelt by Heiderer-Mayer, come and give it a try at our tasting! #EllisWines200
