The philosophy behind the wine making process is to express the ‘terroir’ as clearly as possible. This is a combination of the rock, soil and microclimate. All unique conditions which makes Squerryes, Squerryes.
In 2004 a Champagne House visited Squerryes and fell in love with the south facing escarpment of the North Downs. The lower chalk band and upper greensand was found to be very similar to the Cote de Blanc region of Champagne. The geology is very rare with less than 2% of the Squerryes Estate selected to plant vines.
We have discovered that Squerryes can’t be rushed. The long cool summers provide the perfect conditions for Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier for sparkling wine. We are one of the last vineyards to be harvested in Europe and the wine only truly starts to express itself after 30 months of lees aging.
