Textural, vibrant, and unexpected — a Pinot Gris like no other.
Guiding Light is an English Pinot Gris — bright, balanced, and finely textured. Gentle aromas of struck flint and meadow herbs open into juicy stone fruit and citrus on the palate, carried by a rounded texture and a clean, lingering finish.
The name celebrates the enduring spirit of Abingworth, where sheep still wander close to the vines and a fire-worn Tudor farmhouse stands at the heart of the land. The ram — drawn from both the estate’s pastoral heritage and the mythic strength of Ares — symbolises resilience, courage, and renewal. The label’s copper detailing reflects the wine’s quiet warmth and refinement, a nod to the light that continues to guide this landscape through centuries of change.

A subtle nose of struck flint opens into delicate herbal layers, with hints of sage and fresh meadow herbs. The palate reveals juicy stone fruit and bright lemon, carried by a rounded texture that fills the mouth. Balanced and expressive, it lingers with a long, clean finish.
100% Pinot Gris
Our 1.2-hectare Pinot Gris block on the south-west slope of Greenhurst Field benefits from deep soils and slightly cooler conditions. Morning and afternoon sun, combined with steady airflow, encourages even ripening while preserving vibrant freshness and crisp acidity. Planted with three distinct clones, the site produces a wonderfully balanced and texturally diverse fruit.

Gently destemmed under dry ice and lightly pressed, the 2024 Pinot Gris began fermentation in stainless steel before finishing in a 400-litre oak barrel. It spent the winter on its lees, with gentle bâtonnage to build texture, and underwent natural malolactic fermentation in spring, before being racked and prepared for bottling in August
2024 brought heavier rainfall and vigorous vine growth, producing smaller Pinot Gris bunches and reduced yields. Despite the challenges, cooler, wetter conditions allowed steady ripening and concentrated, flavourful fruit.
Pairs beautifully with fresh, vibrant dishes — from herb-crusted chicken and roasted vegetables to grilled scallops or lemon butter prawns. Soft cheeses like young goat cheese or ricotta bring out its rounded texture and clean finish.
