- The Brut NV opens with aromas of green apples, freshly cut lemons and sourdough, alongside a hint of grilled walnuts and apricots. On the palate, the mousse is fine and textured with complex notes of apple compote, cold butter, candied citrus peel and toasty notes. The finish is refreshing, long and mineral.
Grapes are hand-harvested in late autumn, and the different varieties are pressed separately as whole bunches. The juice is fermented in stainless steel tanks before being allowed to rest on its lees for eight months before being bottled the summer following harvest. At bottling, a portion of our reserve wines (from 2009) is added to make up 20-30% of the final blend. The wine then undergoes slow secondary fermentation in a bottle and is kept on its lees at cool 9-11°C in our sheds for three to five years, allowing it to mature and take on flavours and structure through autolysis. After 3 – 5 years of ageing on lees, the bottles are riddled and disgorged, with a dosage of 8g/l.

| Winery | The fruit for the non-vintage wines comes from the estate’s vineyards and a selection of long-term partner growers across southeast England. The estate soils are chalk-based and, therefore, better for Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, while Pinot Meunier prefers clay soil - so some of this is sourced from clay soils in Kent. Vines are trained in Pendleton and single guyot methods with cover crops between alternate rows (also alternated yearly) to help with soil health, reduce compaction, and promote biodiversity. Sheep are allowed to graze between the vines in the winter months, allowing their manure to degrade them. A Lipco tunnel sprayer is used, which recycles spray during the year, thereby reducing chemical use by 40% and also creating less spray drift. Biodegradable tie-downs, home-produced compost, recycled pressed skins and pruned vine wood help to reduce carbon emissions and promote biodiversity. Grapes are all harvested by hand. |
