The 2013 vintage is a blend of 48% Chardonnay, 36% Pinot Noir and 16% Pinot Meunier, the blend varies slightly each year. Made from hand-harvested grapes from the Greyfriars estate just south-west of Guildford. The estate's vineyards are planted on southerly-facing chalk-rich soils, the sites have excellent drainage. Here, just 80 or so miles north of Champagne's latitude, the vines experience a similar climate on Surrey's North Downs. Grapes are whole bunch pressed, fermented and aged in stainless steel. The wine has a 5g/l dosage of sugar. Food Match SILVER (2013) Sommelier Wine Awards 2018. A wonderful accompaniment to seafood or canapés featuring duck or beetroot.
