Ham Street Wines is the project of husband & wife team Lucie and Jules, who planted four hectares of vines just on the edge the Romney marsh in Kent four years ago. Starting the project as a way of re-connecting with nature whilst still working full-time jobs in accounting, Lucie and Jules were quickly bitten by the regenerative agriculture bug, understanding that improving soil health, promoting biodiversity and doing as little as possible to disturb the natural balance was the key to healthy fruit, and happy wines. They are currently awaiting organic certification, but truly go above and beyond the minimum requirements, working with biodynamic teas and preparations, and having been no-till since 2021.

This is the 2022 Field Blend held back in barrel to give extended elevage for 20 months. Predominantly Pinot Meunier and Pinot Noir, with a small amount of Chardonnay and a touch of Bacchus and Pinot Gris, it's a beautiful wine that has really benefited from its time in barrel. Deeper in colour, richer and rounder on the palate, it still brims with lots of bright fruit with a longer softer finish.
