- The Mix-up is a textural and aromatic orange wine with complementing aromas of ripe stone fruits and hints of elderflower, guava, lemon zest, and sage. The palate is round and textured, with elements of cinnamon and vanilla enveloping the ripe tropical fruit.
A limited-edition wine is made from the three varieties traditionally used in Champagne production: 2019 Chardonnay, 2019 Pinot Noir and 2020 Pinot Meunier. Each variety was vinified separately; the hand-picked grapes were a whole bunch pressed into a combination of stainless steel tanks, an egg-shaped fermenter and Burgundy barrels (of which 5% were new) for fermentation and maturation. The egg shape suspends the natural lees, resulting in a textured wine. The musts underwent alcoholic fermentation and malolactic conversion with wild yeasts and underwent frequent lees stirring, imparting complexity. The wine spent six to 18 months maturing in either French Burgundy barrels, an egg-shaped vessel, or stainless steel tanks before being bottled without fining or filtration.
The Mix-Up Volume III is an aromatic wine with red fruit notes of raspberries and strawberries complemented by ripe stone fruit and zesty lemon. It is refreshing and textured, with an uplifting and crisp finish.

Winery | The vines for this wine are grown in the single vineyard of ‘Coombe Bottom Vineyard’ in the rolling hills of Horsham in East Sussex. Planted in 2016, the two-hectare site faces southeast on a gentle slope, maximising exposure to the sun. The soils are green sandy loam, a free-draining soil. The vineyard is managed conventionally with hand-harvesting and careful grape sorting once the fruit has reached optimal maturity. |
