Meunier / Chardonnay blend
Field Blend 2022
Ham Street

Grape Variety: Pinot Meunier, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Pinot Gris, Bacchus

Producer: Ham Street (Lucie & Jules) & Offbeat

Region: Hamstreet, Kent, UK

Wild Scale: 4/5

Vegan friendly wine

Winemaking:  Biodynamic grapes were harvested by hand. Meunier grapes underwent direct press. All other grape varieties were infused in the juice and macerated for 3 weeks. Pressed into old barrels where it aged for 9 months before bottling with no filtration, fining or added sulphur. 

This Wine: A wine made with every variety grown by Jules and Lucie at Ham Street. The aim of the winemaking technique is to produce a wine that is light in body with a depth and complexity of flavours and that is exactly what has been achieved. Looks like a light red wine in the glass and the red and black fruit flavours are complimented by a touch of citrus and a subtle, smokey finish. 

Notes on the Winemaker:  Lucie and Jules grow grapes in Kent using organic and biodynamic farming practices (with certification to follow soon). Daniel and Nicola at Offbeat purchase many of these grapes to make their own wine with and Dan has spoken to us enthusiastically about the quality of fruit produced. This year Dan has made a wine for them bottled under the Ham Street label.
