There's usually foccacia cooling on the side, something slow-cooked (to facilitate the longer than ideal bedtime routine, no less) bubbling away on the hob, and a playlist that I have curated over the last ten years muffling the sound of Mama having fun. Friends gather around the kitchen island while I apologise there's still at least twenty minutes before dinner, handing someone a corkscrew anyway. As the first glass is poured, I strike a match and light a candle. - [Sauvignon Blanc and England: A Long Courtship](https://balfourwinery.com/journal/the-rise-of-english-sauvignon-blanc/): There are wines that announce themselves before you've even taken a sip. Sauvignon Blanc is one of them. - [Nannette’s 2025: Rosé, rewilding and responsibility](https://balfourwinery.com/journal/nannettes-2025-rose-rewilding-and-responsibility/): This year's release of Balfour Winery's pale, dry rosé, Nannette's 2025 is a prime example. Pale and precise, it is simply 'English', picking up international gold medals in previous vintages even when judged blind against some of the rest of the world's most established rosés. - [What Is English Bacchus? The Grape That’s Becoming England’s Sauvignon Blanc](https://balfourwinery.com/journal/what-is-english-bacchus/): There is a particular moment in early spring when England smells faintly of cut grass and optimism. The days stretch, the daffodils show off, and someone somewhere insists it’s warm enough to sit outside with a glass of something cold. Increasingly, that something is Bacchus. - [Balfour Brut Rosé: The Story Behind England’s Most Iconic Pink Sparkling Wine](https://balfourwinery.com/journal/balfour-brut-rose-story/): Balfour Brut Rosé began, quite literally, as that kind of thought experiment. - [English Wine Week & The History of English Wine](https://balfourwinery.com/journal/history-of-english-wine/): Each year, English Wine Week shines a well-deserved spotlight on the thriving world of English wine. It’s a national celebration of the vineyards, producers, and winemakers behind the bottles, and more importantly, it’s a week long excuse to have a glass or two. From the 21st to the 29th of June, wine lovers are encouraged to try something a bit more local. - [Rewild with Nannette’s Rosé: Nature’s Perfect Pairing](https://balfourwinery.com/journal/rewild-with-nannettes-rose/): Brimming with summer berry and a zesty freshness, our Nannette's Rosé is a wine that echoes the beautiful English summer orchards. Blended with traditional champagne varieties, Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, and Chardonnay, this delicately pale wine is one of Balfour’s chart-toppers. The vineyard that grows the grapes for Nannette’s is surrounded by wildflower meadows, making it both a literal and symbolic product of rewilded land. - [Balfour Wines That Belong in Your Picnic Basket](https://balfourwinery.com/journal/best-balfour-picnic-wines/): Picnics are one of summer’s simplest pleasures, and with the right bottle, any picnic becomes a little more special.

These factors can play a huge part in the flavour, structure and aging potential of the wine. For example, a wet summer but dry autumn can produce more vibrant, fruity wines, while a hotter year might yield richer, bolder flavors. So, drinking a 2022 versus a 2023 can be an entirely different experience. Exciting, right? - [Introducing our Limited Edition Wildflower Rosé](https://balfourwinery.com/journal/wildflower-rose/): There are few greater pleasures than a generous English summer and few better ways to enjoy it than with a glass of something pink, fresh, and full of life. Enter Balfour Wildflower Rosé, our Limited Edition 2024 release, crafted in celebration of the vibrant meadows that surround our vineyards and the rich biodiversity they support. - [Get into the Spring Mindset with England’s Best Pinot Noir](https://balfourwinery.com/journal/pinot-noir-spring/): There’s nothing quite like a sunny spring day to lift your spirits and get you appreciating things in vivid colour.

Think strawberries, rose petals, and sunset-in-a-glass—a wine that’s unmistakably English but somehow pairs with sunshine anywhere on the planet. - [Balfour Brut Rosé 2021](https://balfourwinery.com/product/balfour-brut-rose/): Balfour Brut Rosé is the wine that started it all. The original “if we can’t sell it, we’ll drink it” project dreamed up by Leslie Balfour-Lynn has since become iconic: the first English sparkling served in British Airways First Class and even featured at the London 2012 Olympics. Rich, precise, and unapologetically glamorous, it bursts with wild strawberry, blood orange, and just enough crunch to keep you intrigued. English fizz with a hint of showbiz flair. - [Balfour Blanc de Blancs 2022](https://balfourwinery.com/product/blanc-de-blancs/): Balfour Blanc de Blancs is the English sparkling that might have you double-checking your tasting notes for Champagne. Made entirely from estate-grown Chardonnay on Kentish clay, it delivers baked apple, lemon curd, and a whisper of biscuit with a finesse that belies its island origins. Elegant, age-worthy, and quietly impressive, it’s a wine that rewards patience—both in the glass and in the cellar. - [Balfour Blanc de Noirs 2022](https://balfourwinery.com/product/balfour-blanc-de-noirs/): Blanc de Noirs is the slightly nerdy cousin of your classic fizz: white sparkling wine made from black grapes. Mostly Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier, pressed gently to keep the juice pale, it delivers richness and depth without ever feeling heavy. Expect red-fruit hints, tangerine, brioche, and enough structure to make you sit up and pay attention—elegant, quietly sophisticated, and delightfully geeky. - [Liberty’s Bacchus 2025](https://balfourwinery.com/product/libertys-bacchus/): Named after the family Dalmatian, Liberty; lively, bright, and impossible not to love. Elderflower, citrus and a hint of hedgerow herbs give it a bright, zippy personality, while just enough structure and subtle oak whisper that it isn’t all play. Some insist on calling it “England’s answer to Sauvignon Blanc”. Step aide Savvy B, bottle of Libby B anyone? - [Luke’s Pinot Noir 2025](https://balfourwinery.com/product/lukes-pinot-noir/): This red is light, silky, and effortlessly quaffable—bright cherry notes, a hint of spice, and just enough English charm to keep you coming back for another glass. Best slightly chilled, with or without food, it’s the perfect bridge between “I only drink white” and the beguiling world of Pinot. - [Skye’s Chardonnay 2023](https://balfourwinery.com/product/skyes-chardonnay/): Skye’s Chardonnay is what happens when Kent meets Chablis and they hit it off splendidly. Named after Skye, the eldest of our founders’ offspring, it’s bright, cool, and mineral-driven—lean, elegant, and entirely unapologetic about it. There’s no oak to hide behind, no flamboyance to distract: just precise, linear Chardonnay that shows off the very best of English winemaking. It’s fresh, poised, and quietly confident—the sort of wine that makes you sit up and notice just how far England has come. - [Nannette’s Rosé 2025 Magnum](https://balfourwinery.com/product/nannettes-magnum/): The wine you know and love... just twice as much of it. Our viral sensation is now available in magnum: pale, dry, bursting with strawberries and rose petals, and widely celebrated as one of England's finest rosés. A magnum isn't just twice the size—it's the ultimate celebration bottle. The larger format helps the wine age more slowly, keeping it fresher for longer, while making every gathering feel that little bit more memorable. - [Chardonnay 76 2022](https://balfourwinery.com/product/chardonnay-76/): A limited-edition still Chardonnay from the same single vineyard and single clone (Clone 76), showing a completely different expression of the fruit. Ripe lemon, peach, and a gentle almond note lead into a smooth, rounded palate, balanced by the vineyard’s natural freshness. Made without oak and shaped by full malolactic fermentation, it offers purity, texture, and quiet confidence. This is a refined English Chardonnay with remarkable poise. - [Cuvée Owen Erland Elias 2020](https://balfourwinery.com/product/cuvee-owen-erland-elias/): A super-clean, beautifully focused English Blanc de Blancs made entirely from Chardonnay Clone 76. No malolactic fermentation keeps it bright, pure and citrus-led, with notes of lemon, green apple and chalky minerality. Aged for five years on lees, it gains subtle pastry character and exceptional finesse. Sleek, refined and wonderfully precise; a sparkling wine that showcases the clarity and elegance of the Kent Weald. - [The Winemakers’ Duet](https://balfourwinery.com/product/the-winemakers-duet/): A beautifully presented gift box featuring two limited-edition, single-vineyard, single-clone wines crafted by Balfour’s Head Winemaker, Fergus Elias. A collector’s duo showcasing the precision and personality of Chardonnay clone 76; one expressed as a traditional-method sparkling wine, the other as an elegant still. - [Leslie’s Rosé NV](https://balfourwinery.com/product/leslies-reserve-rose/): Leslie’s Rosé is the unabashed show-off of the family. Copper-pink in the glass, bursting with wild strawberries, red currants, and rose petals, it arrives ready for a party and refuses to be subtle about it. Serious craftsmanship meets unapologetic celebration—perfect for toasts, big moments, and slightly over-the-top pouring at any gathering worth remembering. - [Leslie’s Brut NV](https://balfourwinery.com/product/leslies-reserve-brut-nv/): Leslie’s Brut is the original overachiever of our sparkling collection. Bright citrus, orchard fruits, and a fine mousse with whispers of peach and brioche make it simultaneously elegant and effortlessly drinkable. It’s a fizz that doesn’t just look good on paper—having already outshone some serious French competition at the International Wine Challenge, it proves that English sparkling can more than hold its own. Fish and chips? Caviar? Both work splendidly. - [Leslie’s Gold NV](https://balfourwinery.com/product/leslies-reserve-gold-nv/): The Leslie’s Collection was created by its namesake to produce a sparkling wine for any occasion. Extra dry — the French wine term that makes zero sense because it’s actually sweeter than Brut. Vive la confusion! Gold is the rich, rounded white fizz: ripe peach, baked apple and a creamy, luxurious finish. It’s the perfect welcome drink; impressive on its own, glorious with canapés, and very easy to top up. - [Leslie’s Reserve Red](https://balfourwinery.com/product/leslies-reserve-red/): Leslie’s Red is the sparkling wine that sounds wrong on paper but feels entirely, wonderfully right in the glass. Inspired by Leslie Balfour-Lynn’s discovery of a red champagne in the south of France, it’s a plush, luxurious fizz with black cherries, gentle tannins, and bubbles that feel like velvet on the tongue. Sunday roast? Roaring fire? Abandoned book on the coffee table? This is the wine for all of it. - [Cinque Ports 2019](https://balfourwinery.com/product/cinque-ports/): Cinque Ports 2019 is a refined and rare expression of English still wine, composed of the five white grape varieties traditionally used in Champagne; Chardonnay, Pinot Blanc, Pinot Gris, Arbanne and Petite Meslier. Aged for nine months in French Fontainebleau oak barrels, followed by prolonged lees ageing, this wine balances subtlety and structure. The result is pale white-gold in colour with green highlights, aromas of hyacinth, orange blossom and mayflower, and a palate that delivers tropical lime, coconut brioche and a lively acid backbone. A wine built to age beautifully, but drinking superbly now. - [Balfour Blanc de Noirs 2018 Magnum](https://balfourwinery.com/product/balfour-blanc-de-noir-magnum/): Produced in very limited numbers, just 400 magnums, this 2018 Balfour Blanc de Noirs is a truly special vintage. A blend of Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier, it balances ripe red apple and blackcurrant with bright tangerine citrus and a subtle oyster shell minerality — a wine of pure Balfour vibrancy and complexity. Presented in a beautiful Balfour Gift Box, it’s perfect for celebrating now or cellaring for up to 20 years. - [Balfour Blanc de Blancs 2018 Magnum SOLD OUT](https://balfourwinery.com/product/balfour-blanc-de-blancs-magnum/): Produced in a very limited run of just 400 magnums, this 2018 Balfour Blanc de Blancs is the first of its kind ever bottled in magnum. Made only in the best vintages, it showcases the finest Chardonnay from Kentish clay and chalk soils, offering remarkable tension, concentration, and elegance that are beautifully enhanced by the larger format. Presented in a Balfour Gift Box, it’s perfect for celebrating now or aging gracefully over the next 10–20 years. - [Leslie’s Brut NV Magnum](https://balfourwinery.com/product/leslies-brut-nv-magnum/): Now in Magnum; Leslie’s Reserve Brut is a true expression of English elegance and craftsmanship. Crafted using the traditional Champagne Method, this sparkling wine combines finesse, balance, and bright orchard fruit character. As one of Balfour’s signature wines, it represents the best of Kentish winemaking — refined, refreshing, and ready for every celebration. - [Scout’s Sauvignon Blanc 2025](https://balfourwinery.com/product/scouts-sauvignon-blanc/): England's answer to Sauvignon Blanc? Turns out it's... Sauvignon Blanc. Grown in the sunny Crouch Valley in Essex, Scout's proves that this globe-trotting grape feels right at home here. Think all the zingy gooseberry, elderflower and citrus you'd hope for, but with the bright, mouth-watering freshness that English vineyards do so well. Fermented mainly in stainless steel to keep everything crisp and vibrant, with just a whisper of oak adding a little extra texture, it's fresh, aromatic and seriously easy to love. - [Half Bottle Liberty’s Bacchus 2023](https://balfourwinery.com/product/libertys-bacchus-2023-half-bottle/): Liberty’s Bacchus celebrates the quintessential English white grape in all its aromatic, citrus-led glory. Now available in a perfectly proportioned half bottle. Grown on Kentish soils, this wine captures the essence of an English summer: elderflower, gooseberry and freshly cut grass on the nose, with a crisp, refreshing palate of lime and grapefruit. Made for spontaneous moments, a midweek glass, picnics, or pairing with lighter dishes, this half bottle delivers all the character and finesse of the full-size Liberty’s Bacchus in a more convenient format. - [Balfour Lager (12)](https://balfourwinery.com/product/balfour-lager-case-12/): Balfour Lager is England’s only lager blended by winemakers — a crisp, modern pilsner crafted with the same care and precision that defines our wines. Created by award-winning father-and-son team Owen and Fergus Elias, this premium lager is aged for two months to develop its rich, rounded character. Using the same Burgundy yeast strain found in Balfour’s Skye’s Chardonnay, it delivers a distinctive depth and subtle fruit complexity rare in beer. The result is a refreshing, elegant lager with notes of soft citrus, brioche, and tangerine — perfectly balanced, unmistakably Balfour. - [Balfour Fruit Cider (12)](https://balfourwinery.com/product/balfour-fruit-cider-12/): Crafted with the same precision and philosophy that define our wines, Balfour Fruit Cider brings winemaking expertise to the world of craft cider. Made from a blend of three dessert apple varieties grown in Kent and fermented with wine yeasts, it delivers vibrant notes of strawberries, blackcurrants and summer berries, lifted by a gentle sparkle. Presented in sleek 330ml cans, this cider is refreshingly modern, sustainable, and perfectly suited for picnics, parties or simply enjoying al fresco. Each can captures the essence of an English summer; ripe orchard fruit, bright acidity and a refined, clean finish. - [Balfour Cider (12)](https://balfourwinery.com/product/balfour-cider-12/): Balfour Cider is a refined and balanced cider crafted with a winemaker’s precision at our estate in Kent. Made entirely from fresh juice of Kentish apples — especially the dessert varieties Cox and Egremont Russet, balanced with the vibrant acidity of Bramley — the result is a medium-dry cider that marries softness and crispness. With a nose of freshly cut apple and a palate of pear-drop sweetness and fresh apple acidity, it delivers 5.4% ABV and is both gluten-free and vegan-friendly. - [Balfour IPA (12)](https://balfourwinery.com/product/balfour-ipa-case-12/): England’s only IPA blended by winemakers.

Made using three Kentish hop varieties, Bramling Cross, East Kent Goldings, and Boadicea, this refined IPA celebrates local provenance and flavour. Bright and complex, it offers a nose of honey, thyme, and citrus peel, while the palate reveals biscuity malt, soft bitterness, and a whisper of white wine–like aromatics from the Boadicea hop. Gluten free and vegan friendly, this is a beer designed for those who appreciate craft, balance, and a touch of the unexpected. - [Mixed Bottles (12)](https://balfourwinery.com/product/mixed-bottles-12/): The Mixed Bottles (12) case brings together three of our artisan drinks in one curated selection: four bottles of our cider, four of the lager and four of the IPA.
