Their “Clayhill Vineyard Chardonnay” is celebrated for its precision, with notes of citrus, green apple, and flinty minerality, while their “Painter of Light Pinot Noir” offers delicate red fruit flavors, soft tannins, and a hint of spice. These wines reflect Sergio’s vision of crafting elegant, terroir-driven wines with a distinctly English identity.
At Blackbook, visitors are invited into an intimate urban winery experience. Tours and tastings showcase the artistry of winemaking and the innovative spirit of crafting fine wine in the city.

Oxney Estate Organic Wines Chardonnay 2022 (6 Bottles) Rye, East Sussex, England

A Chardonnay that just keeps getting better and better! Fresh and bright on the nose and mouth, with lemon, citrus zest and a lovely savoury salinity. This Chardonnay is a real winner to enjoy on it’s own or alongside fish and chicken dishes served with creamy lemon and dill sauces. Is your mouth watering yet?
The fruit was picked mid October, de-stemmed and pressed with partial wild yeast fermentation with over 70% in oak barrels, 5.4% of it new, and the rest of the ferment in stainless steel.
The 2022 was one of those glorious wine grape growing years. Spring started out mild and frost free. Summer brought so much sun along with the heat and drought, the clay soils loved it! Autumn was kind enough to offer a bountiful harvest and perfect ripeness for our still wines.
