2009: Warm and dry, near perfect conditions. Monumental wines.

2010: Another warm year with high sugar levels and acidity. Excellent.

2011: Poor flowering and uneven ripening – saved by a heatwave.

2012: A disastrously wet vintage. We harvested zilch.

2013: Cool; one of the latest harvests on record. Long-lived sparklings.

2014: Probably second only to the superlative 2009 vintage. Outstanding.

2015: A cool vintage all round – ideal for Chardonnay-based wines.

2016: Tiny yields, but exceptional quality. An unsung favourite.

2017: A frosty year, but despite low yields some very good quality.

2018: A huge volume of rich, ripe wines suited for mid-term drinking.

2019: Despite disease and heat, very good, racy wines for long cellaring.

2020: A warm, dry vintage that produced ripe wines in small quantities.

2021: Challenging: frost, rain, and disease pressure, but ageworthy fizz.

2022: A solar vintage and excellent quality. World class for still wines.

2023: The largest vintage on record. Pure, classical wines in all styles.

2024: Wet, wet, wet. A lot of work. Essex reds extremely promising.

2025: A unicorn vintage – best ever? Time will tell. We're excited for these.
