A superb and rare example of a single varietal 100% Pinot Meunier from our Home Field Vineyard which juxtaposes delicate fruit aromas with a seriously concentrated palate.
A pale gold colour with a stream of fine bubbles. Delicate aromas of violets, orange blossom and peach posset. The palate has a fine mousse with stone fruit and sherbet flavours. This wine is both elegant and robust, showing great depth and broadness with a very long finish.
A versatile wine suited to all occasions, drinking equally well on its own or with food such as charcuterie, poultry and mushroom-based recipes. Perfect now or age for up to 3 years.

Base Vintage:
2017 100%
Cépage:
Pinot Meunier 100%
Background:
All fruit for this wine was sourced from our single site in rural Dorset. The Crawthorne vineyard consists of 12 hectares planted to Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier and is located on a sheltered south facing slope at 80-100 metres above sea level. The soil consists of a shallow clay loam, containing flint, over deep Cretaceous chalk.
Vinification:
The grapes were picked in October 2017 and gently pressed, whole bunch. Press fractions were carefully separated and left to naturally settle for 24 hours. Primary fermentation took place in a combination of stainless steel tanks and used oak barrels, followed by complete malolactic fermentation. Following 7 months of élevage, the final blend was bottled and left to age on lees for a minimum of 18 months. At disgorgement the wine received 2 g/L dosage and was aged for a further 3 to 6 months under cork.
Tasting Note:
A pale yellow colour with a stream of fine bubbles. Aromas of violets, orange blossom and peach posset. The palate has a fine mousse with stone fruit and sherbet flavours. This wine is both elegant and robust, showing great depth and broadness with a very long finish.
