THE WINE
A wine composed entirely of the free run fraction of an infusion style fermentation. Pinot meunier (81%) and Pinot blanc (19%) from Crouch Valley Vineyard, Essex.
From the cooler 2021 vintage, grown organically (uncertified) on blue clay soils. Whole cluster Pinot blanc and Pinot meunier were transferred to a fibreglass vat before the tank was flooded with direct press juice from the same varieties. Following a two- month fermentation/maceration the free run juice was moved via gravity to a variety of neutral Burgundy and acacia barrels, which were blended and bottled via gravity after 9 months.
THE PEOPLE
Daniel & Nicola Ham work from their cellar in Wiltshire (located at Botley Farm - home to Domaine Hugo) making pure & exciting wines completely free of additives. Formerly the head winemaker of Langham Wines we think Dan is probably the top winemaker working in the UK at the moment producing some of the most exciting wines on the natural wine scene.
THE PLACE
The UK natural wine scene is increasingly defined by a new wave of producers embracing low-intervention viticulture and winemaking. Across regions like Kent, Sussex, and Essex, growers are shifting toward organic and biodynamic practices, prioritizing soil health, biodiversity, and sustainability. In the cellar, many work with native yeasts, avoid filtration, and limit or eliminate sulfur use, allowing the wines to reflect their vineyard origins and the nuances of each vintage. This hands-off approach is resulting in expressive, characterful wines that challenge traditional expectations of English wine and are helping to shape a more diverse and dynamic national wine identity.
