About the Wine
2022 was Sophie’s first year working with Pinot Noir, so she experimented with two different styles. The grapes that ended up in the Reserve was the very last that she picked. The grapes were destemmed and had just one week on the skins for a gentle maceration, the wine is then aged for 12 months in glass demijohns before bottling in reused glass.
Only 180 bottles of this wine were produced, so its safe to say there is very little to go around. We’re very happy to have got our hands on just a few bottles.
About Sophie Evans
After studying winemaking in Plumpton College, UK, Sophie travelled to Germany to work alongside 2Naturkinder. Whilst there, Sophie made her first two wines in their cellar- using fruit both from the 2Naturkinder vines and like-minded biodynamic growers in the area. Having spent some time learning the ropes, Sophie returned to the UK in the summer of 2022 to farm a hectare of her own vines. Growing wild down a country lane in Kent, Sophie works attentively with teas, ferments, and essential oils for disease control alongside biodynamic treatments. She works with plantings of Pinot Gris, Pinot Noir, and some hybrid varieties. This is Sophie’s first English vintage – wines which are a testament to her attention to detail, intuition, and sheer love for winemaking. Exciting stuff!
