About the Wine
A brand new cuvée from Sophie, made using fruit from grower Matt Gregory, based in Leicestershire. Made using a blend of Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris, the wine is light, bright and linear with orchard fruits and red berries aplenty tied up amongst a mineral backbone and subtle smoky core. A red/white blend giving us the best of both worlds. Immediate satisfaction!
A blend of two-thirds Pinot Gris and one-third Pinot Noir, the fruit was hand de-stemmed, foot crushed and macerated for a week before pressing to stainless steel. No filtering or fining, with just a touch of sulphur added at bottling.
Production is tiny, we have just a few bottles to go around.
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!
