The 2018 growing season was perfect in every way. Favourable conditions at flowering and fruit set followed by an incredible summer filled with sunny, dry days encouraged a bountiful crop of high-quality fruit with exceptional balance and flavour. Warm, clear days and cool nights in September were crucial for maintaining acidity levels. Picking started in early September with large yields of wonderfully ripe bunches sent to press. Undoubtedly, this would be one of the finest vintages in England to date.
Carefully selected bunches of Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier grapes were gently whole bunch pressed and partially fermented in old Burgundian barrels followed by a generous period of lees ageing in bottle for a minimum of 53 months.
