Fox & Fox |
We, Jonica & Gerard Fox, have been growing vines since 2004 and producing wine since 2009. Throughout we have remained true to our first love – crafting limited quantities of top quality Sparkling Wines with a unique English twist. All of our wines are 100% suitable for vegans, each wine is registered with The Vegan Society so that you can be 100% comfortable that they meet your ethical standards.
We only use grapes that we grow ourselves. Great care is taken in the vineyard to deliver perfect fruit to the winery. Our wines acquire their richness & fruit flavours from the long growing season, while they gain their acid backbone and freshness from champagne clones. A careful combination of Burgundian and Champagne clones of Chardonnay, Pinot noir, Pinot Meunier and Pinot gris allow us to create wines with enticing fruit flavours, aroma and complexity.
Whether it’s the pure un-oaked Chardonnay of our Essence, the Fox & Fox take on Blanc de Noirs that we call Tradition or our Inspiration Blanc de Gris – our aim is not to copy other styles of sparkling wine, but to create new and exciting wines that reflect the quality of the fruit and the conditions in which it was grown.
THE GRAPES
PINOT NOIR This delicate red grape is our most planted variety. We grow 5 different, mainly Burgundian, clones of Pinot Noir.
PINOT MEUNIER The less well-known Pinot Meunier is perhaps our most expressive grape in the vineyard. We grow 3 champagne clones of this variety Our first Limited Edition Meunier Brut 2014 was awarded a Gold medal by the IWSC in 2018.
CHARDONNAY The grape which often dominates most sought after Champagne blends loves the denser soils in our vineyards. We grow 3 medium yielding Burgundian clones of Chardonnay,
PINOT GRIS We grow Pinot Gris because it produces a glorious juice with elevated natural sugars. It is spiced and aromatic and constitutes about 6% of our plantings. Our first Pinot Gris crop in 2013 was awarded a Gold medal by the MW committee chaired by Oz Clarke & Susie Barrie in the 2017 UK Wine Awards.
