Burnt House Vineyard, Bacchus, 2023
Burnt House Vineyard is the small - just five acres of vines on clay soils at the moment -project of a family-owned farm focused on regenerative agriculture just south of Stowmarket. The Bacchus grape, a 1933 cross of Silvaner / Riesling and Müller-Thurgau, is very successful in England, producing a fruity style with Sauvignon Blanc like aromatics. Scent of green orchard fruit. Lots of zip and energy. Perfect refreshing aperitif. Now-2025

Burnt House Vineyard, Chardonnay, 2022
This Chardonnay was vinified only in stainless steel, and went through malolactic (95%). Open aromas of citrus and cream (from some lees ageing). Very lightly buttery, cut by lemon, lime and green apple flavours. Displays classic English acidity but finishes in style, with attractive pithiness and commendable length. The label suggests drinking with chicken and cheese but the citrusy character accompanies smoked fish well. Now-2026

Chardonnay
Chardonnay is one of the most-widely planted varieties in the world.
Arguably not the most characterful grape, hence its common ageing in oak, yet at its pinnacle in Burgundy it produces some of the greatest (and certainly most expensive) white wines in the world. Look out for unoaked Chardonnay, it can make a pleasant change, and usually goes down very well with all those people who...

Shotley Vineyard, Bacchus, 2023
Charlotte Davitt-Mills, formerly an insurance broker, now heads up a mainly female team at Shotley, which enjoys a beautiful site on clay loam between the Stour and Orwell estuaries. From an initial four acres of vines bought in 2017 they now manage sixteen and released their first vintage in 2020. Open and exotically fruited example. Dry, some weight, not too aromatic and with a distinct almondy finish. Now-2025

Shotley Vineyard, Pinot Noir, 2023
The family’s second vintage of a still Pinot Noir; all fermented and aged in old French oak. Deliciously perfumed: Morello cherries with a dark chocolate accent. Red and black cherries, silky and refined. Surprisingly aromatic finish – very Pinot. Honestly, decant this and serve it blind and defy anyone to identify it as anything other than Burgundy (and not necessarily simple Bourgogne Rouge either!). Now-2027

Domaine Hugo, Hugo, Single Vineyard Brut Nature, 2020
This won the Trophy in the 2024 Wine GB awards for Best Vintage Classic Cuvée –remarkable given it was up against much bigger and better known names. From the splendid summer of 2020, this is made by inspired winemaker Daniel Ham on the farm above Downton, south of Salisbury.
Hugo Stewart has to be one of the most experienced hands among English wine producers. Over twenty years ago he established Les Clos Perdus, a domaine which was a pioneer of bio-dynamic viticulture in the...
