About the producer: "Leisure started with three friends talking about making a natural wine. None of us had a vineyard, but we decided to do it anyway. We started in a cold barn outside Edinburgh and now we have graduated to a cold industrial unit off the Old Kent Road next to a nice tray factory. We add nothing and take nothing away. This means we deal in spontanious fermentation and the best fruits that we can find in season year to year."
