MEET THE LOCALS
We’re breaking with tradition and making award-winning wines and spritzers that are ready to burst into life whenever and wherever you are.
Locally grown. Sustainably made. And always bubblin’.
Gerald – Bubbly White Wine
Dry, refreshing and fizzing with elderflower, pear and freshly cut grass. Maybe it will remind you of an English garden somewhere... but we wouldn't want to give too much away.
- Grapes: Bacchus (70%) • Chardonnay (30%)
- Born in: Surrey
- Vintage: 2019
- ABV: 11.5%

Tasting Notes
Sweetness
Very low sugar makes for a dry wine and lets the delicacy of the fruit shine.
Acidity
Our white is bright and refreshing. More Granny Smith than Golden Delicious.
Body
Light, clean and crisp. It’s almost impossible to sip, so please try to savour.
Our Process
Harvest
First, we grow some grapes. Then, we diligently hand-pick the juiciest berries from our vines.
Destem
The stems and other non-grape materials are removed in preparation for crushing.
Press
The grapes are then pressed to remove the skin and seeds, and we collect the juice that pours out. Clear and sweet and delicious.
Ferment
The juice is fermented to make wine and kept in tanks. The yeast we add eats all the sugar present, creating alcohol and CO2. And we wait. For months. Torture.
Can
After patiently holding our horses, the wine is canned. As it is, we carbonate it to make it bubbly whilst keeping the fresh, aromatic qualities that traditional sparkling wine methods would remove. Perfect.
Eleanor – Bubbly Rosé Wine
- Grapes: Pinot Noir (70%) • Pinot Meunier (30%)
- Born in: Kent • Hampshire
- Vintage: 2019
- ABV: 11.5%
- Vegan friendly
Tasting Notes
Sweetness
A dry rosé that’s low in sugar letting the strawberry flavour burst out.
Acidity
Our Rosé has a touch of tart. Strawberry with the sharpness of a raspberry.
Body
Light, clean and crisp. It’s almost impossible to sip, so please try to savour.
Our Process
Harvest
First, we grow some grapes. Then, we diligently hand-pick the juiciest berries from our vines.
Destem
The stems and other non-grape materials are removed to prep the grapes for crushing.
Press & Macerate
The grapes are then pressed and left to macerate (soften) for a few hours to take on some of the colour from the skins. Then pressed again and the juice collected.
Ferment
The juice is fermented to make wine and kept in tanks. The yeast we add eats all the sugar present, creating alcohol and CO2. And we wait. For months. Torture.

Alfie – White Wine Spritzer
Some say you can never improve on the original, but we've spritzed our white wine and oh, oh, oh, what a sweet child of vine. Just imagine sliding headlong through a dew drenched meadow. There's no need for wellies when you're on your belly! Dry and refreshing, it's playful in nature.

Tasting Notes
Elderflower
Stand under an Elder tree on Midsummer’s eve and apparently, you’ll see fairies. Regardless of how true that is, it tastes magic.
Cucumber
The staple of the poshest sandwich in history. Now garnishing our spritzer like a king.
Rosemary
Some say if you hang Rosemary over your door, it keeps out burglars. We’re sticking to deadbolts for now and using it instead to add an herbal glow.
Lemon Verbena
This sensitive little flower adds an intense hit of citrus to proceedings.
Our Process
Make wine
First, we make our white wine. See Gerald for that magic.
Splash of H2O
We add a splash of sparkling water, lowering the alcohol content and making it even more refreshing.
Botanicals
Finally, we infuse our beautiful botanical extracts, carefully selected to build on the notes in the wine, rather than cover them up.
Can

Tasting Notes
Mint
The ‘Herb of Hospitality’ makes itself at home adding a summery finishing touch.
Rose
We’ve gone and added a subtle hint of romance to the equation.
Lavender
Queen Elizabeth prized a lavender jam and if it was good enough for her, it’s perfect for our lovely cans.
Hawthorn
One of the most under-the-radar red berries going that makes a real splash in our rosé.
