Wildshark Pinot Gris (2024)

New

A lovely style of English Pinot Gris, all hand harvested and fermentations using the grapes indigenous yeasts. Succulent ripe pear on the nose, with honeydew melon, apple and apricot flavours. On the palate there is some weight and a creamy texture. A lingering finish complements the exotic spice and fleshy character, with well-integrated lemon notes.

    Region

    If you have never tried an English wine before – well now is your opportunity. The vineyards of England are generally located in the warmer southern counties where the milder influences of the gulf stream have an important effect, as our northern hemisphere vineyards need a longer cooler growing season than in Europe to produce top quality grapes. More than 500 vineyards are in production across the UK and bottled annual sales has reached 3 million bottles, with Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Bacchus the most planted varieties.

    Producer

    Wildshark Vineyards are a young estate nestled at the base of the North Downs in Kent. In 2022 they planted 60 acres of new vines on an area of ancient soils, composed predominantly of chalk. It is due to these Cretaceous soils that the vineyard takes its name, the land here 50 million years ago was the bed of a vast ocean where great numbers of sea creatures used to preside. The land was also used historically as a Roman settlement, but now is home to rolling fields of vines. The philosophy of the estate is to work with a minimal intervention approach, encouraging a diverse ecosystem and farm sustainably, working towards re wilding areas of the land and planting hedgerows and trees throughout the vineyards giving home to insects and fauna which naturally protect the vines. They are certified with sustainable wines of GB and strive to produce excellent quality wine.
