Tasting Notes
Hundred Hills Preamble No 2 2019 is a strikingly elegant English sparkling wine that beautifully reflects its Oxfordshire chalk soils. The palate is finely textured with a silky, almost satiny mouthfeel. Expect layers of almond patisserie and ripe orchard fruits wrapped around a vibrant core of mouth-watering acidity. A chalky, mineral finesse supports notes of creamy tangerine zest, unfolding into a long, persistent finish.

Winery | Stephen and Fiona Duckett set out in 2009 with one very clear objective: to create sparkling wines to rival some of the finest in the world. Leaving behind successful careers in pharmaceuticals and IT, the couple spent three years searching for the perfect location. It looked at over one hundred sites, eventually drawn to the warm slopes and free-draining chalk soils of the Stonor Valley in Oxfordshire. The land was previously used for lowland grazing, with no crops grown on these soils for nearly five hundred years. This unfaltering attention to detail shines through in every aspect of production at Hundred Hills, from the state-of-the-art winery to the seamless visitor experience that awaits guests. Unsurprisingly, the estate is fast gaining recognition as one of the most ambitious and exciting names in the English wine industry. |
