Sunken Stones

This Sauvignon Blanc bursts with lime, gooseberry, greengage and a hint of blackcurrant leaf. Crisp acidity lifts citrus and green apple, finishing clean with mineral freshness.

100 % Sauvignon Blanc

Planted at the southern end of Greenhurst Field, this 1-hectare block of Sauvignon Blanc sits on a gentle south-facing slope. Its open aspect provides excellent sun exposure, supporting slow ripening and fresh, aromatic fruit character. At the foot of the slope, extra heat helps build flavour and balance. Beneath the vines lies the remains of a Roman road, adding a layer of historic intrigue to the site.

The Sauvignon Blanc was crafted for purity, texture and layered complexity. Half the fruit was destemmed and gently pressed, while the remainder was whole bunch pressed to enhance aromatic lift and structure. After settling overnight, the juice was split across three fermentation vessels: concrete egg for texture and tension, a 320L barrel for mid-palate weight, and stainless steel to preserve freshness and precision. The wine was then aged on its lees to build depth and complexity before final blending and bottling in early spring.

The 2025 season was warm, dry and notably consistent, providing ideal conditions throughout the growing cycle. A settled flowering period led to strong fruit set, while long, sunny days ensured steady, even ripening with minimal disease pressure. In the context of an English vintage, this allowed for full phenolic maturity and natural balance. The result is a Sauvignon Blanc at 13% ABV, combining ripe fruit expression with freshness, precision and poise, reflecting both concentration and clarity.

Fresh oysters with lemon or mignonette are a natural match, enhancing the wine’s bright acidity. It also pairs beautifully with grilled white fish such as sea bass or cod, especially with light herb or citrus dressings. Classic goat’s cheese salad, asparagus dishes, pea and mint risotto, sushi or sashimi, and lightly herbed chicken all complement its freshness and delicate aromatics. Equally, this Sauvignon Blanc can be enjoyed on its own, where its layered aromatics and textural complexity slowly unfold.
