The wine presents a lemon/light gold colour, a generous bouquet of ripe pear, peach, honeydew melon, grapefruit and hints quince followed by well-defined and complex fruit characteristics, fresh crisp acidity and minerality with plenty of character on the palate.

100% Alsatian Clone Pinot Blanc, the grapes from our vineyard were handpicked, and pressed in October. After low temperature fermentation to accentuate the thiol aromas the wine was left in tank over winter but not allowed to go to malolactic fermentation, the juice was very clear and required minimal fining and developed a splash of fruits and flavours of fruit with crispy acidity.

Description

About Oastbrook Estate Vineyard

America Brewer, a winemaker and owner from Bahia, Brazil, found her passion for vines at a young age. She recalls climbing an ancient vine at her childhood home, sparking a lifelong connection. After traveling the world, America discovered her English heritage and settled in East Sussex with her family. Inspired by her childhood memories, she planted vines at her new home, an Oast house near Bodiam Castle.

The vines thrived, and America decided to produce wine. Encouraged by local vineyard owners, she studied wine production at Plumpton College. America's research revealed the unique terroir of her valley, shaped by sandstone, clay, and silt.

In 2018, America planted her first vines and established Oastbrook Vineyard, named after the natural brook surrounding her farm. Her wine is a testament to her journey, bridging her Brazilian heritage and English roots. Today, America tends to her vines with her dog Lora, crafting wine that reflects her story and the beauty of the English countryside.
