Description

Established in 2002 in the town of Tenterden, Kent, Chapel Down is one of the longest-running producers of English wine. Although officially established in 2002, the history of viticulture on the site dates back to the late 1970s when the first vines were planted. Today, the estate still encompasses the original plot planted in the 1970s, but has since expanded its acreage under vine throughout the North Downs and beyond, with over 1,000 acres under vine. While the majority of the grapes are sourced from their own vineyards, Chapel Down also sources high-quality fruit from several long-term partner vineyards across Kent, Sussex, and Essex.

The Chapel Downs estate currently grows Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, and Bacchus varietals on south-facing chalk and clay soils that benefit from a warm maritime climate. Chapel Down cultivate Pinot Noir exclusively for the production of traditional method sparkling wines. Led by Richard Lewis, Chapel Down employs a holistic approach to viticulture management, prioritising cultural methods to minimise the need for pesticides and herbicides. The vineyard team uses an innovative approach to managing the estate, utilising data to inform their decisions, from planting new vines to managing existing ones.

About the Producer

The soil composition of the North Downs, where the vineyards are located, is a continuation of the same geological chalk and clay formations found in Champagne. The chalky soil helps retain heat, allowing for optimal ripening of the grapes, while simultaneously providing excellent drainage to ensure the vines don’t become waterlogged. 2019 was a challenging year in the North Downs of Kent due to a late start to the growing season and periods of wet weather. Despite the difficult start to the season, thanks to their holistic viticultural approach, Chapel Down were able to take advantage of good weather late in the season as it coincided with the flowering period.

Made from 96% Pinot Noir and 4% Early Pinot Noir, this traditional method sparkling wine is made exclusively from red grapes. Only the best fraction of the juice is used in the creation of this wine, with the must undergoing cold fermentation in stainless steel tanks followed by full malolactic fermentation. The wine undergoes maturation in the tank for 6 months before being bottled, where it then undergoes an additional 18 months of lees ageing.

Tasting Notes

The result is a crisp, fresh, and elegant rosé sparkling wine with enticing notes of strawberry, cherry, and redcurrant, and a fine mousse. Excellent as an aperitif or paired with light pasta dishes, creamy cheeses, and fruity desserts. The quality of Chapel Down Rose Reserve has garnered both domestic and international recognition, with the wine earning a silver medal at the Wine GB and IWC Challenge in 2023, while Decanter awarded it a 91-point ranking in the same year.
