2023 Brecon Feral Underclass
The last fellowship of the “Feral Underclass” blending meeting was held on Tower Bridge, London. One foot on either side waiting for a double decker to go over! (Not distracting at all). Our demented grand Poobah of the Estate decided to put some of the exact same Zinfandel that won the 2025 Best Red at the Pacific Rim International Wine Competition into our beloved Feral. Perhaps this explains its lush, dark fruit smoothness, bright complexity with layers of peppery spice? Of course this deviates it away from being a single vineyard offering. However, it takes it to a whole new level. Appropriately Feral Underclass was a term coined in Londinium following the 1997 Riots.
