Production Notes
The vineyards are situated on granite slopes and cultivated under dryland conditions, yielding small, concentrated berries. Grapes are hand-harvested, destemmed, and cold-macerated before fermentation in open-top tanks at moderate temperatures. Gentle punch-downs preserve fruit integrity and tannin finesse. After fermentation, the wine undergoes malolactic conversion and matures for approximately twelve months in seasoned French oak barrels, allowing the components to integrate harmoniously before bottling.
Tasting Notes
Aromas of blackberries, cracked black pepper, smoked meat, and subtle mocha rise from the glass. The palate reveals ripe dark fruit, spice, and hints of chocolate, supported by polished tannins and balanced acidity. The texture is smooth and generous, with a long, savoury finish showing traces of oak and spice.
Food Pairings
Ideal with grilled lamb, braised beef, venison, or slow-cooked stews. It also complements rich pasta dishes, barbecue, and hard cheeses such as Manchego or aged cheddar.

Every detail of Finchley Wine reflects that vision. The space is thoughtfully designed with an organic, natural aesthetic and shelves filled with handpicked bottles from producers who care for their land as much as their craft. We call it wine design, a blend of taste, community, and creativity that turns every visit into an experience.
At Chiswick Wine, you will find not only distinctive wines but also a welcoming space built on connection, sustainability, and local spirit.
