The vineyard is located on hills overlooking the English Channel in the village of Woodchurch, Kent. The ideal geography and climate of the land produces high quality grapes for crafting fine English sparkling wines. The 2013 Classic Cuvée is a blend of 65% Chardonnay, 20% Pinot Meunier, and 15% Pinot Noir harvested by hand from the vineyard's south facing clay loam slopes. On the palate, the wine has flavors of caramel, citrus fruits, and baked apples with a crisp, zesty finish.
