Matt Gregory The Ancestral White 2022

Matt Gregory, a wine merchant with over 20 years of experience in England, started producing his own wines in Sussex and New Zealand. He now creates wines under "The English Winemaker" label, sourcing from both England and Italy. His English wines come from the organically farmed Walton Brook Vineyard in Leicestershire, featuring unique limestone-rich soils. The Italian wines are from sustainably farmed grapes at Villa Giada in Piedmont.

Matt employs a natural winemaking approach. One notable wine, the *Ancestral White*, is a dry, lightly sparkling Bacchus wine, carbonically macerated and fermented without filtration or added sulfur. It offers floral aromas of elderflower, apple blossom, and hawthorn, evoking the essence of the English countryside in spring.
