Our Wines
Our 2017 White - still on sale - is the Winner of the National Trophy for the Best Sparkling Blend, 2021 and Gold Medal Winner in the national competition run by WineGB. We are the smallest and most northerly vineyard ever to have won!
This year, both our 2018 Sparkling White and Sparkling Rosé were awarded Bronze Medals in the WineGB national competition. In the past, we have also been Highly Recommended and Recommended by Decanter Magazine, Wine of the Year and Vintage of the Year, Mercian Vineyards Association.
We currently have our 2017 Trophy White and 2018 national medal, White and Rosé wines on sale.
Our vineyard has a thousand vines - half Pinot Noir and half Seyval Blanc. We harvest each autumn and then blend the grapes to produce both a white and a rosé sparkling wine.
We only produce English Sparkling Wine, made using the traditional Champagne method.
Sparkling white
Our sparkling white is made from a blend of Pinot Noir and Seyval Blanc grapes. The Pinot is approximately 20% of the blend, the Seyval makes up the rest. The crispness of the Seyval is softened by the more complex Pinot to produce what we think is a sophisticated, dry taste. Still available are our 2017 National Trophy and gold medal winner Sparkling White, and our 2018 Sparkling White, bronze medal winner.
Sparkling rosé
The pink is also a blend of the two grapes, but is made from approximately 70% Pinot. Pinot Noir is a white fleshed grape with black skin, and the skins are left in the juice to produce the colour. Similarly dry, three years in the bottle produces a very pleasing depth of flavour. We only have our national bronze medal winner, 2018 still available
