3-week carbonic maceration. 1 year in 600l barrel.
The Maker:
Titch Hill is a sustainable wine producer focused on low-intervention, unfiltered wines made with a nature-first mindset. It is the project of Alex Tristram and Sam Bunker in Sompting, West Sussex. The vines are planted on a farm that has been in Alex’s family for generations, where his uncle began environmental restoration in the 1980s to recover land from post-war industrial farming.
After meeting at Plumpton in 2017, Alex and Sam began working together, planting 3.5 hectares of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier in 2019, followed by 4 hectares of PIWIs. The vines are some of the closest to the coast in the UK. Alex and Sam work to organic principals, currently in conversion, on the chalk of the South Downs, producing wine with a distinct sense of place. The site is managed as part of a holistic farm with livestock and crops, with sheep grazing in the vineyard through the winter.
These small-batch wines reflect the character of this family-run farm in the South Downs and support local biodiversity every step of the way.
Food pairing:
Lamb tagine, chilli con carne, BBQ, sausages, blue cheese gnocchi and Margherita pizza would all pair well.
Or break out the charcuterie, herby olives, butterbean dip and melted Swiss raclette or mature brie.
