Vineyard Kent (89%), East Sussex (6%), Essex (5%) To ensure consistent top quality fruit for this wine, we source from a collection of vineyards in Kent, Sussex and Essex. Grapes are grown predominantly on single and double guyot pruning systems, on varied soils including, chalk, clay and loam soils to best benefit the grape varietals grown. Winemaking The traditional method for sparkling wine productions begins with the first pressing of our grapes. The 'cuvée' juice is then fermented in stainless steel to preserve the fruit aromatics. A second fermentation takes place inside the bottle building carbon dioxide and additional flavour in the wine. After months of maturation on the 'lees', the yeast is disgorged and finally the wine is topped up with the dosage.
