A great start to the day: a glass of good Brut Rosé
Charles Fox ushers us and other visitors into the
entrance to the cellar
We explore the caverns with Cathy Marshall
They remind us of the way bubblies are stored in caves in Champagne

He has several thousand bottles on the lees
Charles explains the process clearly to visitors
and shows us how the wine lies on the lees until it is disgorged
It is quite a commodious cave
New technology helps in disgorging, as they no longer
have to freeze the neck of the bottle. This neat little piece of equipment disgorges,
doses and prepares the bottle for corking in a matter of seconds
The very comfortable tasting room
Cathy Marshall, Zelda and Charles Fox discussing growing Pinot
Noir in Elgin, while we sip glasses of his delicious crisp Brut
The views are normally wonderful from this cellar, which is perched high on an Elgin hill, but this was while the storm was hitting
us full on from the North West.
Another view from the entrance. If you want food, they
do simple cheese platters
Charles pouring some of his Brut Rosé
The products on offer, elegantly displayed
He also produces a small quantity of an Elgin Pinot Noir. Furneaux is his mother's maiden name
