The grapes for this wine are sourced from a single vineyard, Clayhill Vineyard, which is situated on the coastal peninsula of the Crouch Valley in Essex, between the Crouch and Blackwater Rivers. Planted in 2006, the vineyard is south-facing to optimize the sunlight. The microclimate is sunny and warm, ideal for producing quality fruit. The soil is made up of clay, which offers good water retention properties, nourishing the vines throughout the summer growth period. The grapes are hand-picked into small crates to retain the quality of the fruit.
