Boldly fruit-forward, subtly nuanced, textured

Pinot Noir, Pinot Blanc and Chardonnay have dominated the seven vintages of the Silex living blueprint, dependent on what each harvest has given us.

We then craft Silex to develop and emphasise complexity and depth, through whole-bunch pressing, fermentation in barrel, stainless steel tanks and amphora, and skin-contact techniques.

Generous upon release but also one for collectors and people who know, its complexity will continue to develop over time.

With every vintage Silex takes a confident step forward.

“This is a superbly impressive piece of winemaking, taking a seat with the peer group of England’s best dry white wines.”

Jamie Goode, Wine Journalist & Author

Aromas of lemon curd, white peach, and almond are lifted with mineral freshness. Concrete egg contributes purity and tension, while neutral oak brings subtle breadth. Full malolactic fermentation softens the texture, and a year on lees builds savoury detail.

A small addition of 2023 Chardonnay enhances depth and continuity. The palate is bright and waxy, layered with citrus and orchard fruit, framed by taut acidity. Poised, complex, and confidently evolving.

Food Pairing

Silex 2024’s crisp, fresh style and layered complexity make it a natural partner for hearty roasts and seasonal dishes. A wine that steps confidently into the spotlight alongside great food, music, and people.

Technical Notes

Grape varieties:
66 % Chardonnay, 24 % Pinot Blanc, 6 % Pinot Noir, 4 % Pinot Girs. The 2024 blend puts Chardonnay at the fore, balancing its elegance alongside the structure of the Pinot varieties.

Alcohol:
11.5 %. No chaptilisation (the addition of sugar to adjust abv) meaning the alcohol comes 100 % from natural sugars, giving a light-bodied but for the UK a relatively high alcohol wine.

Titratable acidity:
8 g / L - a linear but balanced acidity, which supports the textural and oily mouthfeel of the wine.

Residual sugar:
<0.5 g / L means that we've not added any sugar to back sweeten the wine. Any residual sugar comes from unfermented grape sugars. The wine is bone dry.

Vinification

Since its first release in 2017, Silex has been in constant evolution, with the blend changing each year to best reflect the vintage. In 2024, a relatively cool season brought freshness and precision. Aromas of lemon curd, white peach, and almond are lifted with mineral freshness. Concrete egg maturation contributes purity and tension, while neutral oak brings subtle breadth.

Ingredients

Grapes harvested from Flint Vineyard, Martin's Lane Vineyard (Crouch Valley, Essex), Whitewolfe Vineyard (North Downs, Kent). Indigenous yeasts and active dried yeasts. Minimal Sulphites (<20 mg / L) - enough to protect from oxidation but well within the principles of low intervention. The wine is not cold stabilised or fined so we've made no additions to aid this. Unfiltered, so this wine may throw a slight harmless sediment.
