£100.00
UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED
Our flagship wine boasts a delicate blend of peach, floral, and yeasty flavors, complemented by a soft, broad palate. The 2023 harvest yielded a bountiful crop, carefully hand-picked after a brief delay to ensure optimal ripeness.
This aromatic dry white wine, bottled in June 2024, showcases a harmonious balance of Bacchus, Ortega, Faber, Siegerrebe, and Huxelrebe grape varieties. With 11% alcohol and no added yeast, the wine’s natural fruit aromas (hedgerow, citrus, elderflower) will continue to evolve over time.
Aged in large foudres, 10% of the blend adds a silky texture and creamy structure, without imparting oak flavors. Enjoy this elegant wine in its youth or cellar for a few years.
About Davenport Vineyards

Our commitment to organic farming, certified by the Soil Association since 2000, has yielded exceptional fruit quality and wines with depth and character.
Our winery, located in Rotherfield, East Sussex, produces up to 70,000 bottles annually. Will Davenport, with his expertise in winemaking, and Ben Connor, our experienced vineyard manager, work together to craft our wines.
In 2022, we took on the management of a larger farm, including 43 acres of vineyards and 70 acres of apple orchards. We plan to transition the non-organic vineyards to organic practices over the next 5 years.

Greyfriars Vineyard Yolande 2023 (6 Bottles) Puttenham, Surrey, England
UK MAINLAND DELIVERY INCLUDED
This wine is a blend of Pinot Gris, Chardonnay, Pinot Blanc and Pinot Noir from the 2023 vintage and has been crafted to create a light delicate, fresh but aromatic white blend that celebrates the very best of the North Downs.
The Chardonnay, Pinot Blanc and Pinot Noir were whole bunch pressed with the Chardonnay formed purely from the cuvee fraction of the whole bunch press. The Pinot Gris was crushed and destemmed with a 2-hour soak. There was an addition of tea leaf tannins to the tank fermented wine to reduce the amount of added sulphites. 24% of the Chardonnay was fermented and aged in barrel for six months and 10% of the Chardonnay came from our Chardonnay ‘solera’ reserve tank which we started in 2015
This is the fourth in a series of limited-edition wines celebrating a chapter in our local history and the unsung heroines of the SOE in World War II who trained at nearby Wanborough Manor.
Yolande Beekman flew to NE France as a radio operator in September 1943. Unfortunately in January 1944 her transmissions were detected and she was captured and tragically executed at Dachau in September 1944.
