Domaine Hugo 'Hugo'
Single vineyard English sparkling.
Domaine Hugo is a collaborative project between Hugo Stewart and Daniel Ham (Offbeat Wines). Together they’ve built a winery on the chalk soils of Botley’s Farm South Wiltshire, with Hugo concentrating on the biodynamic viticulture, and Dan leading the terroir-driven winemaking.
‘Hugo’ is a single vineyard field blend traditional method sparkling wine, using Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier and Pinot Gris. Harvested by hand, fermentation was with indigenous yeast to create a base wine that was aged in a combination of old oak and amphora vessels. 18% reserve wine was added and small dosage before being secondary fermentation in bottle. The wine sees no fining, filtration or added sulphur.
The 2021 vintage follows the rich and acid driven style of the domain but with some added roundness. It has a lovely complexity that will develop further with time in bottle.
