Tillingham Wines, Rose Pet-Nat, East Sussex, England 2021

This wine is a blend of Pinot Noir and Pinot Blanc. The grapes were whole bunch pressed after a 24 hour maceration in the press and fermented in stainless steel. Then bottled by gravity to finish fermentation in bottle.

Tillingham is set amongst 70 acres of rolling hills and woodlands with far reaching views along the Tillingham River valley and across to the fortified, hill top town of Rye, East Sussex, to the sea and the Romney salt marshes beyond. The philosophy at Tillingham would be best summarised as progressive: incorporating what we know of the best scientific and technological knowledge available to us, whilst championing ancient traditions and best practice learnt from millennia of farming and winemaking. At Tillingham they are committed to farming in a diverse, poly-cultural way, they believe this is not only a highly sustainable approach, but in conjunction with biodynamics, aims to restore soils to an optimum level of organic matter and microbial and wider ecological diversity.
