This Wine: English natural wine made from a blend of red (70%) and white (30%) grape varieties. Drinks more like a rosé. Delicate but full of fresh fruit complexity and floral notes. Light in alcohol and perfect to drink in the sun. Less than 2500 bottles produced.
Notes on the Winemaker: Lucie 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 favourite local producers!
