It’s back! Our White Wine is back home and available for sale. We’re very pleased with the wine, it’s still young and fresh but there’s also a depth of flavour and a nice rich spicy texture from the wild ferment. People have pre ordered and so we expect to be sold out by around Christmas time.
About Smith & Evans
Guy Smith and Laura Evans planted the Higher Plot vineyard in 2008, after a four-year search for the perfect site to produce high-quality sparkling wine. They tend to the vines year-round, from midwinter pruning to harvest in late summer.
The vineyard’s unique terroir, with its White Lias Limestone Ridge, has long been recognised for its ability to produce early-ripening, high-quality fruit. The site features 300-year-old terracing, originally built for orchards when cider was considered a premium product.
The vineyard’s free-draining, calcareous limestone soil is identical to that found in some of the world’s greatest vineyards. The local climate is also ideal for grape cultivation. Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Meunier vines are planted on the south-facing slopes, with the first harvest taking place in 2010.
The team’s approach to viticulture focuses on balance and harmony with the surrounding environment. And, of course, no vineyard is complete without a loyal canine companion. Meet Bert, the current vineyard dog, a loveable mix of Lab, German Pointer, and other breeds.

UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED
Gardner Street has the classic floral, elderflower note we have come to know of contemporary Bacchus, married with a touch of ripe stone fruit from the barrel fermented Chardonnay.
Sourced from vineyard partners in Essex and Kent we harvested the vineyard parcels separately and fermented as small lots to allow the expression of their respective sites to shine through. 30% of the blend was fermented in neutral 300L French oak barrels and
allowed to go through malolactic fermentation, while the remaining parcels were fermented at cool temperatures in stainless steel and did not go through malolactic fermentation.
