England's top winery's top wine. Named after their entry in the Domesday Book in 1086. Easily the equal to the best of luxury cuvee Champagne.

Pithy lemon and white peach combined with vanilla pod and butterscotch. The palate has a fleshy texture, flavours of ripe apricot crumble, a hint of cinnamon. Leading to a toasty finish, underpinned by subtle woodsmoke and fresh acidity. Whole-bunch pressed and only the ‘heart’ of the free run used, the juice was then fermented in new French oak barrels. Following fermentation the wine was matured in barrel for 18 months, with around 50% seeing weekly bâtonnage. The wine was bottled unfined and unfiltered in March 2024. Made from some of the best Chardonnay fruit we’ve ever seen, picked in 2022 by hand from Martin’s Lane in the Crouch Valley, Essex. It was a hot, dry year, so yields were low, but ripeness was exceptional.

Clearly England's no. 1 fizz. Mature and toasty. In a handy half-bottle size.

The 2018 vintage of a classic English Champagne-type sparkling wine from Dorset's Furleigh. This offers enticing notes of apples and freshly baked bread. And Kyran has requested this so he has got to sell it!!!!

16.5/20 Tamlyn Currin, jancisrobinson.com (2021 vintage) "Linear with a steely core and indeed flinty minerality, but it's also deeply soused in lime and headily fragrant citrus peel. Bay leaf and green cardamom shift through the fresh-apple fruit, making it elegantly herbaceous. Above all, the wine is juicy and true, delivering a full mouthful of sappy pleasure."

This is a careful blend of the three of the classic Champagne varieties, Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay, and is made using the traditional method where the second fermentation is done in the bottle. It has a fresh, fruit aroma of green apple, melon with subtle honey and floral characters. On the palate a delightful combination of toffee apple and baked apple, rounded with good acidity and a delicate mineral finish.

Clearly England's no. 1 fizz. Mature and toasty.

Bacchus - England's answer to Sauvignon Blanc.  A clean, crisp white wine with flavours of gooseberry and nettle leading to a long refreshing finish.

Quintessential English Bacchus with a twist of the new world, made with fruit from various vineyard locations on the estate, including some of the oldest vines in the country. Intensely aromatic with grapefruit, pear, peach, lime, and herbaceous vegetal notes of nettle and cut grass. rich flavoursome mouthfeel with slight savoury notes on the finish due to partial barrel fermentation.

Barrel-fermented, with reserve wines from their perpetual solera. Strikingly intense for an English sparkling wine, deep gold, deep flavour, brave and shameless oxidative character puts it up there with the best. A grand dinner wine, indeed a de facto fine wine. This is clearly as they say "next level" locating Danbury firmly as the brightest star in the firmament of English wine. Only 3000 bottles produced. Jancis Robinson OBE MW 17/20 60% Pinot Noir, 40% Chardonnay. Sparkling wine based on 2018, their first. (The next cuvée is slightly less Chardonnay.) ‘We’re not ashamed of ripeness’, they say. It will be more than 12.5% alcohol and will probably be labelled as 13%. Only 4.5 bar pressure. Release planned for September 2024. No malo and no SO2 added. 3,000 bottles. "Deep golden straw colour. Really quite a rich, ripe nose of stewed apricots that's slightly at odds with the high acidity on the palate but it certainly makes a statement! Markedly gentle bead. Bone-dry finish. Dosage (5 g/l in the sample I tasted in September 2022) is well judged. No hint of excess sweetness. Well done!"

Something of Pouilly-Fuisse in the style here, a banana-custard rich nose, but on the palate linear, mineral and refined. Elegant, broad and complex, so unlike other English chardonay. Super-premium estate sited in the warmest, driest corner of England, near the coast and Malden (of posh salt fame). This south-facing ridge enjoys an exceptionally long warm growing season - so rare in England. Our old friend John Atkinson, Master of Wine, who is an expert on cool-climate viticulture, is enthusiastically involved. Winemaker is Liam Idzikowski who boasts long experience in English wine-making; backed by owners the Bunker family, the winery is an astonishing no-expense-spared jewel in the crown for English wine.

Inspired by the Bacchus Fumé 2022 (the highest scoring Bacchus in the UK), the Fumé 2024 is the winery's only release of Bacchus from the last vintage. The fruit was harvested by hand from our own vines and a parcel from Martin's Lane Vineyard in the Crouch Valley, Essex. To express the complexity of the Bacchus grape, we use a multitude of techniques that respect both the traditional and more novel methods of winemaking. 40% fermentation and ageing in 3rd-fill oak barrels lends texture and encourages aromatic development rather than oak flavour. Barrels can push Bacchus towards the style of its parent variety, Riesling, and the 2024 Fumé demonstrates this. It is ripe and fleshy with pear and apple aromas and flavours, a lovely tezxture and length. Hyper-oxidation of some juice fractions softens the wine and use of nitrogen at the press preserves aromatics.

Bright, fresh and fruit-driven, made with a blend of sustainably grown, aromatic varieties including Pinot Noir, Chardnnay and Pinot Blanc, that require minimal intervention in the vineyard. The grapes were pressed under nitrogen to retain their delicate flavours, with a proportion fermented in neutral oak to add complexity. Secondary fermentation was completed in tank, making it one of the first of its kind produced in England.

Elegant with aromas of apple, lemongrass and freshly baked bread together with hints of apricot on the palate and fine persistent bubbles.

A crisp, dry, fruit-driven white showing pear, grapefruit and lemon with notes of honeysuckle and English hedgerow on the nose. Supple roundness with a slight saline minerality gives a mouthwatering, refreshing finish.
