The Story
At the heart of our still wine ambition, Cinque Ports represents our pursuit of elegance, provenance and the exceptional potential of English terroir. Crafted from specially selected vineyards at the top of the Balfour Winery estate, each of the five varieties was chosen not for power but for finesse. Fermentation in oak barrels and extended lees maturation add texture and complexity without overwhelming the fruit. It has been recognised by industry voices, dubbed “one of the ten UK wines to try before you die” by The Buyer. For those who appreciate fine wine, this is an extraordinary expression of English still wine ambition.
