All wines from the Albury Estate in the Surrey Hills are organic. The company is unwaveringly committed to fruit production using 100% organic methods – that means no herbicides and fungicides or chemicals of any kind. One of the values running throughout the business is that improving the biology of the soil will result in the development of fantastic natural biology, brilliant produce and eventually brilliant wine.
The Albury vineyard is owned by Nick Wenman and released its first wine in 2015. The vines are split between the Champagne varietals of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier, and bolstered by some Seyval and Pinot Gris. The grapes make up a high-quality product portfolio including a still rosé and a collection of sparkling wines.
The 2013 Classic Cuvée has an International Organic Wine award, and has been recognised by Decanter and IWC for quality. Its powerful citrus flavours are boosted by a lively acidity and combined they make for a very refreshing wine. The finish is long and gives a pleasant sweetness. This is the perfect sparkling wine for any celebration and offers significant levels of class for its price point.
