Description

Grown in Sussex, just 35 miles from our winery, the grapes are hand-picked and sorted in the vineyard. Whole bunch pressed and fermented using indigenous yeast in old burgundy barrels. The wine underwent natural malolactic fermentation and aged for a total of 7 months with frequent lees stirring. Our pinot meunier is a delicate interpretation of the variety lending itself to aromas of raspberry, mandarin peel, red floral notes, grapefruit, with hints of citrus zest, and dried cranberry.

London

The London region in England, though not traditionally known for winemaking, is gaining recognition for its urban wineries and innovative approaches to viticulture. Benefiting from a temperate maritime climate, London's wineries often source high-quality grapes from established vineyards in other parts of England, such as Sussex and Kent. The area is particularly noted for producing excellent sparkling wines using the traditional method, as well as a variety of still wines including crisp whites, rosés, and light reds. London's urban wineries offer a unique wine experience, blending metropolitan sophistication with traditional winemaking techniques. As the wine scene continues to grow, the London region is becoming a vibrant hub for wine enthusiasts seeking unique and locally-produced wines.
