"Oes Gafr Eto" (pronounced Oys Gavr Ehto) Is our very 1st vintage made from a blend of our Orion and Regent grape varieties. The namesake of this vintage comes from the opening line of the Welsh folk song "Cyfri'r Geifr" which translates to "Counting the Goats" and also the origin of our name Tair Gafr Wines.

​

2022 was a very challenging year, the drought had a big impact on our young vines resulting in very low yields. making this a very rare vintage.

​

Whole bunch carbonic maceration allows fermentation to begin in the grapes causing the grapes to burst open naturally.  Native yeasts living on the grapes were allowed to ferment the sugars with no additions. The juice was left on the skins for 9 days for colour extraction before being transferred to stainless steel vessel for aging and malolactic fermentation. The wine was then gravity cleared with no addition of finings before racking and bottling.
