100% Pinot Meunier grown in Canterbury
After two years of ageing on lees, these bottles of bubbles have just been released. On the nose, this wine has notes of peaches, green apple, quinces, and great depth from a subtle yeasty brioche character. We recommend you pair it with native oysters or a hard local cheese like Lincolnshire Poacher. A glass or two in front of a roaring fire also makes for a perfect night in.
Grapes are grown in West Marden, West Sussex
This was the most playful wine of the 2020 vintage…made from 100% Pinot Gris, 3 days of skin contact resulted in a unique pastel blush colour. The fermentation was in our 600L egg and neutral oak barrels and ran quite warm resulting in deliciously tropical aromas - rhubarb, peach, and mango.
The bottles have then been hand-disgorged, however, each bottle may still have a small amount of yeast. The resulting fizz level is light (think Vinho Verde or Txakoli) and helps to amplify the tropical Pinot Gris character… see if you can find the gingery XMAS spices in the back of the palate! A very moreish wine when served as an aperitif - it also beautifully pairs with fresh berries, strawberries, and clotted cream.
Grapes sourced from a single vineyard in Upperton, West Sussex
This Bacchus has a zingy tropical nose, passionfruit, and grapefruit in the foreground, with hints of freshly cut grass. The palate has the classic crisp English finish, green apple, gooseberry, and elderflower notes shine bright. There is a long textured finish from barrel aging on lees. This wine is particularly easy to pair with food - anything that likes a squeeze of lemon loves this Bacchus. Pairs easily with seafood such as smoked salmon or even an old-school prawn cocktail.
Single vinyard Précoce grown in West Marden, West Sussex
This Précoce has bright ripe cherry and fresh raspberries aromas, with hints of rose petals and a smokey charcuterie finish from barrel ageing. The palate is full of vibrant berries, tannins are soft and very approachable due to the delicate extraction in our concrete tanks. This year our Précoce was one of the most acclaimed WineGB reds and can be found in some of London’s best restaurants including the 3 Michelin Alain Ducasse at The Dorchester. The bright red fruits in this wine pair perfectly with roast turkey, it also makes for a wonderful accompaniment with charcuterie and cheese.
