Classic //​ Black Chalk

This wine has real purity of fruit, a delicate weight from the Pinot Meunier and beautiful floral aromas from the Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.  Fruit, balance, weight, and freshness, all showcase the best of what Hampshire can offer.

Minimal intervention. Whole bunch pressing, cold settled, primary fermentation in stainless steel and oak barrels, partial malolactic before blending and stabilisation. Tirage in early spring and secondary fermentation in the bottle, before the wines are aged for a minimum of 20 months on lees.
