A new era of world class, single estate, sparkling wines
We set out over a decade ago with a passion - to create from scratch, in a magical corner of the English countryside, outstanding English sparkling wines that will ultimately rival the very best the world has to offer. A very special journey is only just at the beginning.....
2019 Preamble No.2
The third vintage of our late harvested Preamble wine continues on the theme of crystalline purity, capturing the essence of the growing season in the glass. The long, cool 2019 vintage brings a lighter palate, a core of zingy freshness showing as ripe lime zest and curiously passionfruit appearing for the first time. The wines underwent alcoholic fermentation and a full malolactic fermentation largely in oak casks and barrels, then were bottled with 36 months on lees. This artisanal wine shows the concentration of our Pinot Noir balanced by fresher, lighter Chardonnay in the cool 2019 vintage. Drink now to 2028.
2018 Blanc de Blancs No.2
An early budburst, peak flowering on 20th June, and an excellent ripening season combined to yield a perfect harvest in mid October. This wine was created from our north facing Chardonnay parcels with over 100 days on the vine, which excelled in this record breaking vintage. The base wines were created in a combination of traditional oak casks and stainless steel without malolactic fermentation, they were held back after blending and softened using gentle oak exposure and regular batonnage, followed by spending 48 months on the lees after bottling.
2019 Dreaming Spires Rosé
The 2019 vintage began early, with shoots well developed by the start of May. The summer saw some of the highest temperatures to date in the vineyards, then a long, cool and dry autumn allowed the grapes to fully ripen late into October. This wine was created entirely from north and north-east facing Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. The base wines were created with a malolactic fermentation to find balance and texture, fermented and aged in a combination of traditional oak casks for Chardonnay and stainless steel for Pinot Noir, each undergoing battonage. The wine was bottled and spent 24 months aging on lees before disgorgement.
