Hundred Hills Blanc de Noirs 2019

Our Philosophy

Great wines are made in vineyards, not in wineries, and from grapes that can slowly grow and ripen in the cool climates that allow them the time to express the hundreds of delicate aromas and flavours that ultimately deliver the fine wines we love.  We only ever make wines from the finest grapes from our own vineyard and tightly control quality at every stage along the road, from planting vines to popping corks.

We make ‘clean, clear’ wines that aim to reflect a sense of time and place in the way the very best Burgundies seek to do.  Our wines will vary year by year and our winemaking will always be minimalist in style allowing as pure a vintage expression of our vineyard as possible.

Searching for Chalk Valleys

Steep chalk slopes, warmed gently through the English summer, and soils poor enough that every year the vines must struggle for survival and produce the most enticing grapes they can.

A rare single parcel, all Pinot Noir sparkling, from our Hillside vineyard.  The long, dry 2019 vintage allowed over 110 days on the vine with rich, macerated summer berries and spices able to shine through in the wine as a result.

Tasting Notes

A core of vibrant acidity draws together the generous, round palate of ripe Pinot Noir. Intense layers of red fruit; macerated strawberry, raspberries, red apple and Morello cherries lead into a deeper layer of ripe nectarine and juicy flat peaches with cream.
