Seyval Blanc (pronounced say-vahl blonk) is an early ripening variety that is suited to cooler climates; with resistance to low temperatures and disease, it has proven to be very successful in England's capricious climate. It is a hybrid variety, which means it has some American non-vinifera parentage, and it produces wines with characteristic high acidity - ideal for the production of sparkling wine. The grapes for the GMF wine are grown in the single 2.2-hectare Yew Tree Vineyard which is located almost in the foothills of the Berkshire Downs, 10 miles south of Oxford. The vines were planted in 2015 and are grown at 70 meters above sea level in sandy-loam soils. The grapes are handpicked at optimum maturity into small crates, to retain the quality of the fruit.
Blackbook Winery is an urban winery located in a railway arch in Battersea, South London. Their philosophy is simple: blending tradition with innovation. The grapes are sourced from carefully selected growers, who have vineyards within hours of the city and high-quality grapes and are members of Sustainable Wines of Great Britain. Blackbook endeavors to bring the hard work of the vineyard owners to the forefront, by creating a range of single vineyard wines that showcase the quality and potential of producing world-class still wine in England. Focussing on Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, Blackbook uses a minimalist approach, with low to zero sulfur and natural yeasts, as they seek to reflect the vibrancy, culture, and energy of London in their wines.
