ABOUT TILLINGHAM WINES
Tillingham is set amongst 70 acres of rolling hills and woodlands with far reaching views along the Tillingham River valley and across to the fortified, hill top town of Rye, East Sussex, to the sea and the Romney salt marshes beyond.
This mixed farm, which dates from the 13th century, is home to vineyards, fruit trees, ancient woodland and livestock. The recently renovated farmstead provides a place for visitors to stay and enjoy the produce of the farm and the local area.
Our philosophy at Tillingham would be best summarised as progressive: incorporating what we know of the best scientific and technological knowledge available to us, whilst championing ancient traditions and best practice learnt from millennia of farming and winemaking.
At Tillingham we are committed to farming in a diverse, poly-cultural way, we believe this is not only a highly sustainable approach, but in conjunction with biodynamics, aims to restore soils to an optimum level of organic matter and microbial and wider ecological diversity.
Pétillant Rosé
Some nutty, red fruit aromas, alongside a biscuit, bready character.
Persistent but gentle bubbles support a medium palate with a smidgen of elusive oak character.
£24.00
Qvevri Dharc
Saline and citrus mingle with a nutty twist on the nose, slightly grippy on the palate from the Qvevri influence leading into a slightly buttery, rounded finish from the oak barrels. Taut acidity, reminiscent of Chablis of a bygone era.
£35.00
PN19
Our third vintage of the PN, this one is perhaps the most vinous – bright cherry and damson with floral notes, crisp and refreshing with a dry finish.
£24.00
Traditional Method 2017
This changes everything. Our first ever release of a traditional method wine, perhaps our most classic and opulent wine to date. Enjoy.
£55.00
Col’18
Pale gold and slightly hazy (undisgorged), the Col has very soft small bubbles. Aromas of toasty, creamy baked apples are contrasted by fresh acidity and a dry long finish.
£29.00
White
The Tillingham White. Smokey stone fruit and apple aromas with a light, soify and grippy palate. Zero filtration, zero fining and minimal sulphur added at bottling.
£18.00
Flor
Nutty and saline, with notes of sherry-esque oxidation. In the mouth the wine has bright acidity, balanced by a richly textured finish, with a sweet twist from the barrel influence.
Served blind you could easily think yourself in the Jura.
£40.00
Qvevri White
White stone fruit and citrus on the nose and palate, generous but zippy with a dry savoury finish.
£32.00
R
Smashable bright cherry rocket fuel. Enjoy with picnics (picnics optional).
