Working from his organically farmed Peasmarsh vineyard in East Sussex, his aim is to craft wines that express site, soil, and season with clarity and restraint. Fermentation takes place in amphora, qvevri, and neutral oak, with no additions and minimal handling. Drawing on biodynamic principles, Walgate seeks purity over polish—producing elegant, mineral wines that challenge and redefine expectations of English still and sparkling wine.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eBright rose gold in appearance with delicate, fine bubbles. Very floral on the nose, with hints of Jasmin, Honeysuckle and Violet followed by freshly baked white bread. Soft, gentle acidity on the palate. Generously weighted, the fine mousse maintains balance. Fleshy raspberry and blood orange complement the added texture from barrel.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eProducer \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWalgate Wines \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOrigin \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRye, East Sussex, England\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGrapes \u003cstrong\u003e50% Pinot Meunier \u0026amp; 50% Pinot Noir\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eVintage \u003cstrong\u003e2022\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAlcohol \u003cstrong\u003e12.4%\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eStyle\u003cstrong\u003e Crisp, Textural, Complex Traditional Method Sparkling\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBottle size \u003cstrong\u003e75cl\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWinemaking\u003cstrong\u003e Manual harvest, whole bunch press, t\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ehe Pinot Meunier grapes were left in the press to bleed overnight (Saignée method), while the Pinot Noir was direct pressed.
