Flint Vineyard
Silex Blanc
White Wine
750ml
The Flint Silex evolves every year and 2022 presented one of the most extraordinary harvests in England to date, with extremely dry and hot conditions. Yields were low and quality was high with perfect ripening weather for Pinot and Chardonnay varieties.
The Silex 2022 is a blend of 50 % Pinot Noir, 40 % Pinot Blanc and 10 % Chardonnay, the latter being picked from the Crouch Valley in Essex, the former two varieties from Flint parcels. Cœur de cuvée whole-bunch press juice was fermented in 3rd fill oak barrels. 100 % malolactic fermentation and aged for 12 months across neutral barrels, stainless steel and amphora.
TASTING NOTES
A rich, textural wine full of bright lemon and apricot fruit, enhanced by more complex aromas of honey, biscotti and orange peel..
