London Urban Winery Crawl

London Urban Winery Crawl

Renegade trucks grapes from France, Italy, Spain, Portugal and Germany at exactly 2°C so fermentation doesn't start on the M25. In a Walthamstow railway arch, Warwick Smith makes 12-14 wines per year. Sergio Verrillo trained at Domaine de Montille in Burgundy, then came to Battersea and made 'Tamesis' — the first wine grown AND made in London since the Roman occupation. London Cru sits in a Victorian building that was a gin distillery before it held Chardonnay tanks. The city that ran the global wine trade for centuries is finally making its own.
