Walgate Pinot Blanc 2022 is a white wine from the Crouch Valley in Essex, produced by winemaker Ben Walgate. Crafted from organic grapes grown on clay soils, the fruit was whole-bunch pressed and fermented with wild yeasts before ageing in old oak and stainless steel. It offers a profile of ripe apple, preserved lemon and peach kernel, balancing a rich, leesy texture with bright acidity and saline minerality. Bottled without filtration and with minimal sulphur, this limited release of 1,522 bottles highlights a low-intervention approach that results in a pure, expressive and persistent finish.
