Tasting Notes
Golden, with fine bubbles. Citrus oil, orchard fruit and toasted brioche; supple and layered, with stone fruit, pastry and roasted nuts, a clean line of acidity and a long, savoury finish.
Producer Profile
Danbury Ridge is a family estate in the Crouch Valley, Essex, founded by Michael and Heather Bunker with daughters Janine and Sophie. The first vines went in in 2014 and the winery was completed in 2019. Liam Idzikowski has been winemaker since 2017.
Viticulture
Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Meunier from the Crouch Valley, known for naturally generous, ripe fruit.
Winemaking
Hand-picked and whole-bunch pressed. The base wines are fermented in oak barriques and blended with wines from a perpetual reserve aged in foudre, then given a second fermentation in bottle and aged on the lees. Dosage is barrel-aged Chardonnay.
Goes well with
Roast chicken, scallops or a creamy cheese.
Cellaring
Drinking well now; will keep for several years.
