The Oxney estate is organic and run with a sustainable and natural approach. ‘Cover crops’ of plants, flowers, and herbs are used between the vines to encourage potential pests away from the grapes, and they generate heat from coppiced wood chips. The vineyards are comprised of 21 acres of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier and Seyval Blanc vines, which produce a range of still and sparkling wines.
“Oxney exists to reset expectations of organic winemaking in England. Some call it an impossible challenge. We call that a lack of imagination” - Kristin Syltevik Winemaker
This NV sparkling wine has a very clear, beautiful nose with notes of red apple, pear, and other orchard fruits, as well as toasted nuts and red berries. It has a burst of tart apples and traces of white peach on the palate, followed by a wave of tangy red fruit and delicately spiced almond notes. It is fresh and lively in character.
