Cambridge’s urban winery
Exceptional wines made in an old windmill
Description
A bold and ripe Pinot Noir, made with grapes grown on the bank of Essex’s River Crouch. Its concentrated redcurrant and raspberry fruit is offset by rich earthiness, black pepper spice and a smooth lick of red liquorice.
Single-site Pinot Noir from Crouch Ridge Vineyard in Essex was hand-picked in late-October. The bunches were destemmed and cold-settled for 24 hours before fermentation in open-topped bins. Daily punch-downs ensured good extraction from the delicate skins adding bold colour, tannin and richness.
Fermentation took 17 days, and after completion the wine was racked into a French oak barriques where it underwent malolactic fermentation which helped to soften the acidity and lighten the mouthfeel. The wine was matured for 11 months in oak and steel before bottling; the oak softening the fruit and tannins, the steel ensuring the bold colour and bright fruit remained.
300 bottles were produced.
No animal products or derivatives were used to make this wine.

Description
A skin-contact (orange) Pinot Gris made from grapes grown at Bromley Brook Vineyard in Essex. This is perfumed and savoury with notes of grilled peach, rose petal and jasmine tea. Clean and pure with a long, ethereal finish.
Single-site Pinot Gris from Essex was picked by hand on 5th October 2025; a proportion of the fruit was gently whole-bunch pressed and the juice added to a 250-litre egg-shaped tank where it joined whole bunches of grapes for a skin-contact, un-inoculated fermentation.
After 16 days on the skins, the wine was racked into a 228-L neutral Burgundy barrel, and the skins pressed with this fraction added to the barrel. It matured on the fine lees for 10 months with no battonage.
280 bottles were produced.
