Titch Hill - Alex Tristram & Sam Bunker
ENGLAND, SOUTH-EAST, WEST SUSSEX
Cause for celebration: new wines from Sam & Alex at Titch Hill!
Our UK growers continue to release wines to coax the sun back, and things are looking promising! Sam & Alex’s latest wines are brilliant examples of the fun you can have with UK fruit when worked properly, with no additions.
Among the arrivals - a trio of pet-nats - we have a top-up of their ‘22 Wild Combination; and from 2023, the new edition of Fieldwork (properly sparkling this year) and the introduction of Love Streams: a high energy pet-nat of Baccus, Auxerrois and Chardonnay - (up to you to decide if its a bottled-expression of Lizzy Mercier Descloux, Cassavetes, or Tim Hecker)
Due to prior commitments with their own fruit for the 2023 vintage, these releases are all negocé for Titch Hill this year, with fruit sourced from organic or responsible lutte raisonnée vineyards from across England's south.
Though the 2024 releases will be back to domaine fruit, it's a thrill to see nonetheless their house-style shining through so clearly in these wines: a testament to their keen-eyed vision and brilliant winemaking. Clean, fun, bright and beautiful.

2023 - Love Streams - Bacchus, Auxerrois, Chardonnay
They’ve done it again: summer in a bottle!
Super-bright, fresh with citrus, someone’s been going heavy with the zester whilst prepping the picnic. Drinks like a good time in a meadow, heady with nearby elderflower.
2023 - Field Work - Pinot Noir, Reichensteiner, Ortega
A juicy, vibrant and immediately satisfying pet-nat of Pinot Noir, Reichensteiner and Ortega. Juicy, smoky fruit with a lovely amaro bitterness.
Ready to put the wines through their paces with Leeds’ formidable Thai Aroy Dee as selected by Wayward Wines own Steve Nuttall.
