Brut Reserve No.8

No 8 is based on the wonderful Pinot year that is 2019. It was a cooler and longer ripening season than 2018 and gives this wine a more elegant and focussed structure. The pronounced Pinot character is already giving lovely toasty complexity which will continue to build over the next few years.

Location All fruit comes from our own 6.5 ha site on the outskirts of Marlow, Buckinghamshire, 1 mile from the River Thames.

Viticulture We practice regenerative organic farming using no herbicides, synthetic pesticides or artificial fertilisers.

Microclimate Inland location gives high daytime temperature with cool nights that preserve acidity and freshness.

Pruning method Double guyot to balance out vigour and yield.
