Harrow & Hope Pinot Meunier 2019 (6 Bottles) Marlow, Buckinghamshire, England
£228.00
UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED
85% of this wine was fermented in stainless steel to preserve the unique aromatic qualities of this variety. The rest was fermented in a 500 litre oak puncheon to build structure and length. This is a naturally soft and elegant wine with a subtle floral nose but also has a savory, saline edge. The palate has a moreish quality because of the soft acid profile and elegant almost feather light feel, with the saline finish really drawing you back to have another glass. This wine seems to get better every time I try it. Being the first iteration it’s difficult to say how long it might go on for but if balance is the key to longevity then this has it in abundance.
About Harrow & Hope
Over half a million years, the Chiltern Hills were shaped by the retreating Thames, leaving behind a unique terroir perfect for sparkling wine. Our 6.5-hectare vineyard, perched on a Thames gravel terrace near Marlow, is a labour of love. The flint and clay soils may be a challenge to cultivate—as two broken harrows remind us—but their complexity is key to our exceptional wines.
Harrow & Hope’s single-vineyard estate thrives on the synergy of site and craft. Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier vines are grown, harvested, and expertly blended by our dedicated team. Every bottle of Harrow & Hope is a tribute to traditional method winemaking and the natural elements that define our wines’ character.
The journey began with my family’s deep-rooted passion for wine. My first harvest at 17 in France ignited a lifelong obsession, further honed in Australia. In 2010, after studying biology (and borrowing notes from my wife, Kaye, whom I met at Durham University), we found our dream site in Marlow. Since then, we’ve planted vines, built a winery, and welcomed three children.
Inspired by the guidance of pioneers like Mike Roberts OBE and Dr. Tony Jordan, we strive to honour our terroir. Our organic practises nurture the vineyard’s biome, from cover crops to homemade compost, fostering harmony with nature. Ten years on, our wines reflect the site’s potential, and we’re proud of the recognition they’ve received, supported by customers who share our love for world-class sparkling wine.

As its name suggests this wine is made of selected base wines from multiple vintages to produce an approachable and immediately enjoyable style. Others call this style ‘non-vintage’ – we just prefer the name ‘multi-vintage’! The blend of this wine will vary slightly each year in order to maintain a consistent style, but it will typically be a combination of Chardonnay, Pinot Blanc, Pinot Noir or Pinot Meunier and will undergo 3 years on-lees ageing.
Generous and soft on the palate, this wine is open and expressive, exhibiting delightful panettone-like aromas of sweet baked bread, dried apricots, nuts and candied citrus peels.

This blend replaces our highly successful Ditchling Reserve. Using Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier and Pinot Noir Précoce, the wine has been longer in reserve and a large proportion has been barrel aged before bottling. Long aging on the lees has ensured a rich, but still fruity balance. Also awarded a gold medal at the 2021 International Wines & Spirits Competition; the judges commented “Stunning nose of honeycomb, bruised apple and brioche – like a fine dessert with apple four ways. It has lovely poise, classy and complex all held in perfect poise by the bright quintessentially English acidity”.
Davenport Pet Nat Sparkling 2023 (6 Bottles) Rotherfield, East Sussex, England
UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED
Our ever-popular Pet Nat is back! A purely natural wine, fermented by natural yeasts with no added sulphites. It is a light, refreshing, slightly cloudy sparkling wine and is absolutely the perfect summer drink. We bottled during harvest while the wine was still frementing, keeping a light fizz in the bottle. It has a slight yeast sediment adding a great yeasty edge to the fruit aromas. The wine will gain yeasty aromas as it ages.
This is a natural wine in every way and is difficult to make, so we only use the best grapes available to us that we know will end up with the right flavours and balance in the wine.
