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.

Albourne Estate Multi-Vintage Sparkling (6 Bottles) Albourne, West Sussex, England
UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED
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.
Blackbook “Controversy” Pinot Meunier 2022 (6 Bottles) Battersea, London, England
UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED
Matthew Jukes, Money Week “It is sensational, challenging, rare and unmissable and I feel that is like finding a missing page in the encyclopedia of wine.” - 2019 Vintage
Grown in Sussex, just 35 miles from our winery, the grapes are hand-picked and sorted in the vineyard. Whole bunch pressed and fermented using indigenous yeast in old burgundy barrels. The wine underwent natural malolactic fermentation and aged for a total of 7 months with frequent lees stirring. Our pinot meunier is a delicate interpretation of the variety lending itself to aromas of raspberry, mandarin peel, red floral notes, grapefruit, with hints of citrus zest, and dried cranberry.

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.

Oastbrook Estate Sparkling Cuveé 2014 (6 Bottles) Robertsbridge, Kent, England
UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED
This is a rich ripe, full and surprisingly generous Cuvee. Aromas of lemon, pear and apple and hedgerow flowers and hints of brioche. The palate is lovely, lush and elegant and the finish long and equally luscious with a hint of shortbread.
The grapes were pressed in a traditional Coquard press. After fermentation the base wines were kept separate and remained on their gross yeast lees over winter to develop additional complexity and richness. The base wines did not go through malolactic fermentation. Bottled in May 2014 the Cuvee was disgorged on September 2021 and has spent 87 months on the lees. This wine is a blend of 62% Chardonnay 21% Pinot Noir and 17% Pinot Meunier.
