Black Chalk Classic is always Chardonnay led, both on the palate and the nose. This is no exception; it has a wonderful precise fruit focus, and the palate is textured and full. A small amount of malolactic fermentation to the base wines - the conversion of malic acid to lactic acid - creates weight and richness, whilst still allowing the wine to retain a fresh edge that is a hallmark for Black Chalk wines.

It all started in 2015, using grapes purchased from local Hampshire vineyards we produced small batch, traditional method sparkling wines with the aim of showcasing the very best of Hampshire. After launching our wines in 2018 to critical acclaim the project has gone from strength to strength. In 2020 we secured 12ha of established vineyards across 3 sites in the beautiful Test Valley, plus a group of buildings that have been transformed into our new home, including a new Winery and Tasting Room. This has allowed us to focus in more detail on what Hampshire and these vineyards can do so well.
