The grapes for this wine are sourced from the single vineyard Crouch Valley Vineyard, which is situated on the coastal peninsula of the Crouch Valley in Essex, between the Crouch and Blackwater Rivers. Planted in 2006, the vineyard is south facing to optimise the sunlight in the capricious English climate. The soil is made up of clay, which offers good water retention properties, nourishing the vines throughout the summer growth period. The grapes are hand-picked into small crates and then travel the short distance to the winery in Battersea, London.
