Evolution, Complexity and Texture. Silex 2023 is the latest expression of our most complex and uncompromising wine style. Taking a lead from its predecessors, weaving in our latest ideas, then carefully interpreting the growing conditions of the season has created a wine of real character. Silex is an evolving wine and in 2023 Chardonnay was our standout variety, producing expressive fruit of the highest quality, so we chose to make it the focus of this year’s blend. Alongside Chardonnay, we whole-bunch pressed Pinot Noir, Pinot Blanc and Pinot Gris, fermenting and maturing these in a mixture of new and neutral oak barrels for 12 months. The winemaking was deliberately hands off, allowing the grapes to shine and help make the decisions for us. The result is boldly fruit-forward, subtly nuanced, textured, and overall an elegant continuation of the Silex line. As Ben explains: “We listened to the vintage. Silex tells a story, which is just getting richer every year.” Show more
