Story
This new player in the burgeoning English wine scene is a labour of love from award-winning winemaker Jacob Leadley and his family, with the eagerly-awaited debut 2015 vintage released in April 2018. Exceptional fruit is sourced entirely from vineyards in Hampshire, a quintessentially English landscape Jacob knows well, having been a winemaker at Hattingley Valley for seven years from 2011. The traditional triptych of grapes comes together in two wines of winsome brio and charm - notably and intriguingly with a more prominent role for Pinot Meunier, too often the bridesmaid of sparkling wine. Plucked from the chalklands of Hampshire, Black Chalk is an exciting and important leap forward for English wine.
