Albury Estate, Silent Pool Rose 2023

The Vines were planted 2009/10 over a total of 13 acres encompassing 21,000 vines. The Soil composition is clay on chalk which is situated in the Surrey Hills AONB on the south face of the North Downs. All the grapes are hand-picked from a single vineyard and the vines are certified Organic and Biodynamic. Only 9,000 bottles were produced from the 2018 vintage the grapes were gently pressed, cold fermented for 16 days, sur lies for 5 months and cold stored.

Albury Vineyard is the result of Nick Wenman's passion for quality wine. Nick planted the vineyard in 2009 having retired from the IT industry to fulfil his dream of owning a vineyard. Nick believes that key to the success of the wines is the vineyard's commitment to organic and biodynamic principles, together with excellent winemakers and his talented vineyard manager Alex, one of the few female vineyard managers in England. Her expertise is vital to the running of the vineyard, and her dog Attila is well loved by visitors. Albury is a family-run vineyard, with Nick's daughter Lucy now part of the team and granddaughter Poppy a regular visitor (if only to visit the bee-hives and sneak a taste of the honey!)
