VINTAGE
The weather was a rollercoaster in 2023, spring started out mild and frost free, with a lot of rain in March. Summer brought some sun along with a warmer than usual September but a rather wet July and August. Autumn was kind enough to offer a bountiful harvest and the late summer temperatures helped produce a good level of ripeness for our still wines.
TASTING NOTE
An invitingly pale pink rosé with clear hints of strawberries. This is a rosé for grown ups – great mouthfeel and a multitude of flavours – strawberry, cranberry and a backbone of citrus.

Producer
Six miles north of Rye, in the village of Beckley in the south east corner of East Sussex, Oxney Organic Estate has been producing award-winning organic wines since 2014. The first vines were planted in 2012 by founders Kristin Syltevik and Paul Dobson, who run Oxney as part of a wider organic farming estate. Today Oxney is one of the leading estate producers of organic English wines. Oxney wines are crafted as a showcase for the naturally high-quality grapes grown in the vineyard. In the winery – a converted Grade II oasthouse – interventions are kept to a minimum to promote full fruit expression.
Vineyard
Planted between 2012 and 2018, Oxney’s 14 hectares of vines are located on a warm, sheltered site six miles from the English Channel and 17 metres above sea level. Vines are planted on a gentle southwest-facing slope, which maximises sun exposure and aids ripening. An adjoining ancient oak forest provides natural wind protection, helping to create excellent conditions for growing high-quality organic grapes. Four varieties are planted – Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Pinot Meunier and Seyval Blanc. The soil is Tunbridge Wells sand – a fine sand and silt loam – above clay bedrock.
