Ruth has enthusiastically embraced vineyard life – a marked contrast to working professionally in kitchens! Whilst not following a unique philosophical approach to viticulture, she selects what is perceived to be the best approach available – or as the French describe it la lutteraisonnée[means 'the reasoned struggle']. Either way – it’s the caring commitment and continuous involvement with the vineyard to ensure the healthiest and most balanced vines are achieved – from which pristine fruit can then be harvested for the cuverie.
