We’re thrilled to announce the release of our new wine: 21!

21 is a limited-edition, vintage wine and is the only still wine we will be releasing from our 2021 harvest. It’s an exciting wine which has the recognisably aromatic elderflower notes from the Bacchus when your nose is first in the glass. Then on the palate, it’s medium-bodied which gives it the ‘luxe’ quality we know to be from the Pinot Gris grapes. It also has a tropical component to it from the Gris that is almost sherbert-like, which is aided by the crispness from the high acidity. And then the Précoce, being a red grape, adds a further level of complexity, texture and perfume to the wine.

2021 was a tough year for English wine; we were struck by repeated frosts, heavy rain, high humidity and a Summer with virtually no sun. The yields were modest at harvest time and we were unable to make our usual single-variety still wines, but with this, we saw an opportunity to create something new instead. 21 is a white wine that blends three grape varieties; Bacchus, Pinot Gris and Pinot Noir Précoce - and we couldn’t be prouder of the way it’s turned out.

We decided to name the wine ‘21’ as it tells the story of 2021. The label features the bare bones of our first building, Kinsbrook Farmhouse, at the time of harvest in Autumn 2021, which you can see at the top of this page. It’s important to us to be honest and to share and celebrate every part of our journey with our customers - the good and the bad - and 21 is the perfect example of this.
