London Clay Brut, Producer
Crafted in the heart of Essex, London Clay wines are made using the Charmat method but with a distinctly urban sensibility. The winery works exclusively with high-quality grapes from Kent and Sussex — regions prized for their chalk soils and cool climate, which mirror the famed sparkling wine regions of northern France. Their approach blends tradition with innovation, all bottled just a stone’s throw from the Thames.
London Clay Brut, Terroir & Winemaking
The grapes for this Brut — Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier — are grown in vineyards on chalk and flint soils, ideal for retaining freshness and building structure. Minimal intervention and a low dosage help preserve the purity of fruit and terroir.
London Clay Brut, Tasting Notes
Lively aromas of green apple, lemon zest, and honeysuckle. On the palate, it’s crisp and focused, with flavours of white peach, citrus, and crushed shell. The mouthfeel is creamy yet taut, with a long, chalky finish that showcases its precision and minerality.
London Clay Brut food pairing suggestion: Smoked Trout Tart with Crème Fraîche and Chives.
