Westwell Wicken Foy

SUSTAINABLE
A traditional bottle-fermented sparkling wine, made from Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, and Chardonnay. The wine is blended with reserve wines from previous vintages for further complexity. Lovely nose of yellow apple, pear, and apricots, with flavours of ripe apples and lemon sherbert. This wine is hitting the next level with great acidity, perfect for sipping on a sunny day with some fresh Oysters.

Westwell Wine Estate, a south-facing slope on chalk soil in the Kent Downs planted with Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, and Ortega. Adrian Pike purchased Westwell Estate in 2017 and is joined by viticulturist Marcus Goodwin who was at Davenport Vineyards for over 20 years.
With their first year spent getting used to new surroundings, Westwell took things a little more experimental in 2017, and then further still in 2018. Opting to reduce the sprays from 4 times a year, to 2 times a year to, in 2019 only once a year (in Spring) he is working practically organically. They will not be certified, as this is just too much of a risk in such a marginal climate, but will always opt for the most sustainable option.
