The Haworth family established their Bridge Pa Triangle wine venture Abbey Cellar in 2002 when they planted their 13 ha vineyard to 10 varieties to make estate-grown wine with the Bordeaux varieties as their mainstays. Recently they have been subtly rebranding from Abbey Cellars to Abbey Estate to reflect the fuller nature of their business, taking into account the importance of the vineyard to the finished wines. The wines are growing in elegance whilst retaining their fruitiness and consumer appeal. Here I review the new Abbey Estate ‘Passion’ Rosé 2017 and ‘Prophet’ Cabernet Sauvignon–based blend. www.abbeywines.com
