Vineyard: Kit's Coty
Kit's Coty vineyard is a 95-acre vineyard at about 50m above sea level on the Late Cretaceous chalk of the North Downs of Kent. The southerly aspect ensures the vines capture the sunshine all year long while the warm free-draining chalk soils provide the perfect terroir for producing well balanced, intensely flavoured fruit.

Viticulture
Restricting yields and maintaining vine balance allow the vines to fulfil their potential, producing fruit that truly express their identity and the unique qualities of the soil.
Vinification
Harvested by hand in late September, grapes are whole bunch pressed before undergoing wild fermentation in old French oak barrels adding complexity and richness to the wine.
Maturation
Maturation in old French oak barrels for 9 months.
