(2024) Another new English name for me, a single estate wine from East Sussex composed of 47% Pinot Noir, 47% Chardonnay and 6% Pinot Meunier, part barrel fermented and with 24% reserve wine. This bottle was disgorged in NOvember 2023 after 20 months the on the lees. There's a baked apple pie character, creamy and generous, with ripe yellow apple notes. In the mouth that high proportion of reserves adds depth, a lovely biscuity richness but cut with plenty of crisp lemon and apple. Long, well-balanced, and I have to say, if buying at £28, very good value indeed. A name to watch on this evidence. Watch the
