FROM VINEYARD TO VINTAGE
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.
Our 2018 Blanc de Noirs was grown and harvested at our Roebuck, Little Brockhurst and Roman Villa vineyards in West Sussex.
