WARESLEY PARK VINEYARD
A young vineyard on the Greensand Ridge.
Planted in the spring of 2023 on the south-facing slope behind the lake. Four grape varieties, picked by hand for the first time in September 2025. This is where our wine comes from.

THE VINEYARD
Sand, sun and a slope behind the lake.
The vines went into the south-facing slope behind the lake in the spring of 2023, on well-draining sand on the Greensand Ridge. Bacchus fills rows 1 to 19; Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Meunier & Pinot Noir Précoce fill out the rest.
Two quiet summers followed while the young vines settled in. The first picking came on the 8th of September 2025: a hundred and fifty kilos of Bacchus, hand-picked into shallow crates and sorted the same afternoon.
We considered blending with bought-in fruit to make more. We decided not to. Every bottle of The Hundred is from one vineyard, one block, one harvest.

TASTING NOTES
Peach and garden mint.
A bright, dry, distinctly English white. The sand we grew it on gives it a softness that Bacchus doesn't always have — and a finish that tastes of a summer kitchen garden.
On the nose
Garden mint, white peach, a touch of meadow flower.
On the palate
Stone fruit and ripe pear, mint lifting through the middle.
The finish
Dry, fresh, herbal — a kitchen garden in a glass.
Best with fresh goat's cheese, garden peas, asparagus, or grilled white fish with herbs. Serve cold — six to eight degrees.
