(2024) From Henry and Kaye Laithwaite’s 6.5ha estate in Marlow, Buckinghamshire, the vines grown on a specific chalky plot. Half was fermented in barrel, and the wine aged on its lees for four years. This wine impressed, a little buttery toast and biscuit but fresh and direct, the crisp fruit suggested on the nose carrying on to the palate, A modest dosage of 6.2g/l enhances the freshness as ripe English orchard and citrus fruit run through to a balanced, focused finish. £37 by the mixed dozen.
