History
Hambledon Vineyard, founded in 1952 by Sir Guy Salisbury-Jones, is widely regarded as the birthplace of English wine. With the guidance of esteemed Champagne House, Pol Roger, Sir Guy planted vines on the south-facing chalky slopes on the estate, in what is now part of the South Downs National Park. Today, Hambledon is under the joint ownership of Berry Bros. & Rudd and Symington Family Estates, with a remarkable 200 acres under vine.

Tasting notes
Fresh sourdough, magnolia and lily scents mingle with a hint of smoke over a core of greengage, red plums and dessert apples. The Palate is vivid, almost vibrantly crunchy with precise, structured yet ripe acidity. It is linear, dense and long with momentum and power that bodes well for the future.
This wine has energy and latent tension that will unfold to reveal layers of floral and stone fruit aromas and a rich palate with great length.
