Fermentation with indigenous yeast in fibreglass tanks. The wine was intended to be used for a tradional method sparkling wine but it had such great character, Lucie and Jools decided to make a Col Fondo style sparkling wine instead. No filtration, fining or added sulphur. Not disgorged.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Wine: Natural sparkling wine which could potentially be a one-off cuvée from Ham Street. Textured and juicy, this is full of red fruit and mineral flavours. Quite serious and elegant for a Col Fondo and provides a long finish. Only 905 bottles produced\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNotes on the Winemaker: \u003c\/span\u003eLucie and Jules have been growing grapes in Ham Street, Kent since 2019. The couple are passionate about wine, biodynamics, sustainability and biodiversity. They released their first vintage in 2022 and in 2024 became biodynamic certification (one of only 6 certified vineyards in the UK). In the winery they are off grid. There are no pumps, no pneumatic presses and they work by gravity. Everything is passed through the basket press and Lucie and Jules taste as they go. They are now producing 15,000 bottles a year. The wines are complex, alive and delicate, never filtered or fined and sulphur is kept to an absolute minimum. One of our favourite local producers!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Highbury Library","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56768503972226,"sku":null,"price":30.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/highburylibrary.co.uk\/products\/p-pinot-meunier-br-col-fondo-meunier-2024-br-ham-street-p","provider":"Highbury Library","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
