However I had not expected to find a vineyard on St Mary&#8217;s , one of the largest islands that make up the Scilly Isles off the coast of Cornwall. The Holyvale vineyard has not had a great deal of success so far having lost a couple of crops in the past three years but it is a little ambitious trying to produce still Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. We tasted the 2015 vintage which had potential but was rather lean with a lack of fruit but certainly drinkable. Very little is made but it is being lapped up by the Island visitors and I wish them luck for a decent 2018 vintage &#8211; certainly the most southerly UK vineyard I know.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Rather surprisingly a French appeals court has rejected a case by the most famous of all Pomerol producers, Chateau Petrus, overturning a previous ruling to allow another French wine brand called Petrus Lambertini to continue using the name on its labels. The dispute began 7 years ago when Petrus Lambertini purchased the trademark &#8220;Petrus Lambertini Major Burdegalensis 1208&#8221; , a reference to Bordeaux&#8217;s first mayor. Understandably Chateau Petrus felt that the wine would possibly be seen as a &#8220;second&#8221; wine of Petrus &#8211; although it doesn&#8217;t actually make one !<\/p>\n<p>As the wine only sells for \u00a310 there is unlikely to be confusion but I suspect a a counter appeal to a higher court will follow.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"w-separator size_small\"><\/div><div class=\"w-post-elm post_author vcard author color_link_inherit with_ava avapos_top\"><a href=\"https:\/\/oxfordwine.co.uk\/owc\/author\/tedmd\/\" class=\"fn\" aria-hidden=\"true\" tabindex=\"-1\"><div class=\"post-author-ava\" style=\"font-size:96px;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"96\" height=\"96\" src=\"https:\/\/oxfordwine.co.uk\/owc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Staff-photos-colour-1-96x96.png\" class=\"avatar avatar-96 photo\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/oxfordwine.co.uk\/owc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Staff-photos-colour-1-96x96.png 96w, https:\/\/oxfordwine.co.uk\/owc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Staff-photos-colour-1-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/oxfordwine.co.uk\/owc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Staff-photos-colour-1-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/oxfordwine.co.uk\/owc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Staff-photos-colour-1-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/oxfordwine.co.uk\/owc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Staff-photos-colour-1-350x350.png 350w, https:\/\/oxfordwine.co.uk\/owc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Staff-photos-colour-1-600x600.png 600w, https:\/\/oxfordwine.co.uk\/owc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Staff-photos-colour-1-400x400.png 400w, https:\/\/oxfordwine.co.uk\/owc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Staff-photos-colour-1-24x24.png 24w, https:\/\/oxfordwine.co.uk\/owc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Staff-photos-colour-1-48x48.png 48w, https:\/\/oxfordwine.co.uk\/owc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Staff-photos-colour-1.png 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 96px) 100vw, 96px\" \/><\/div><\/a><div class=\"post-author-meta\"><a href=\"https:\/\/oxfordwine.co.uk\/owc\/author\/tedmd\/\" class=\"post-author-name fn\">Ted Sandbach<\/a><div class=\"post-author-info\">Ted studied History and Physical Education at Loughborough University before teaching at Magdalen College School in Oxford for 7 years.
