Age of Anxiety Ortega Gutter & Stars 2025, 75cl

Gutter & Stars was founded in 2020 after the opportunity arose to establish a winery in the basement of a Grade II-listed windmill less than a mile from the centre of Cambridge. Founder and winemaker Chris Wilson began his career as a music and newspaper journalist before discovering a passion for wine. After graduating from Plumpton College with a degree in winemaking in 2010, he gained experience in wine regions around the world, including California's Napa Valley, Germany and East Sussex, before founding Gutter & Stars.

Made from hand-picked Ortega grapes grown in Oxfordshire, this beautifully textured English white combines notes of peach tea, guava and candied fruit with savoury complexity and a softly waxy finish. Barrel fermented, aged on fine lees and bottled unfined and unfiltered, only 560 bottles were produced.
