Field Blend Reserve 2022
Field Blend Reserve 2022
A detailed and distinct expression of every variety Lucie & Jules grow over their 4 organic hectares on the edge of the Romney Marshes — now with some added age. This is the joyful result of holding back two barrels of their 2022 Field Blend for 20 months of extended ageing. A wine that already had layers of complexity, has deepened with extra time in barrel, filling out its corners and gaining a long, soft finish.
Ham Street Wines is the project of husband & wife team Lucie & Jules, who planted four hectares of vines four years ago, in Ham Street, Kent. Starting the project as a way of re-connecting with nature whilst still working full-time jobs in accounting, Lucie & Jules were quickly bitten by the regenerative agriculture bug, understanding that improving soil health, promoting biodiversity and doing as little as possible to disturb the natural balance was the key to healthy fruit, and happy wines.
Beginning with organic conversion in 2022, they achieved biodynamic certification in 2024. They truly go above and beyond the minimum requirements, adhering to the core principles of regenerative agriculture. Their commitment to their vineyards is an inspiring reminder of what is possible for agriculture in the UK.
