This weekend marks the summer solstice in the northern hemisphere, signalling the longest day of the year and inspiring a host of celebrations around the globe. Whether you’re dreaming of some Mediterranean sunshine, searching for beautiful summer flavours or enjoying a bit of solstice meditation, we’ve got something for you in our seven new bottlings, online this afternoon.
NOTES
We imagined walking through steep vineyards just before harvest and being taken by surprise when the heavens opened, before finding shelter in a wooden shack. While we waited, we unpacked an apple pie with raisins and walnuts as we opened a hip flask filled with apple schnapps. Diluted the rain stopped and the sun came out so we sat outside enjoying Victoria sponge cake, a cinnamon sweet apple turnover and pastries with a vanilla and fruit filling. Some then finished with an espresso coffee, others with lavender tea and we were all crunching away on almond biscotti biscuits – what a beautiful bizarre story!
