Black Chalk Eight Nine Point Six 2020

Nestled deep within Black Chalk’s Hampshire estate lies the pure, white bedrock that defines everything they do. Eighty Nine Point Six 2020 is an unapologetic celebration of that very foundation. Pure, fresh, elegant, and deeply rooted in 89.6 million year old chalk.

A limited release wine with only 953 magnums produced, Eighty Nine Point Six is sourced from a small selection of standout parcels across Black Chalk’s three vineyards. The fruit exhibits vibrant citrus, orchard characters, and precise mineral structure and has been blended exclusively for magnum.

Juice is settled for 24 hours before fermentation: 80% in stainless steel and 20% in four old 228-litre French oak barrels, each inoculated with a different yeast strain, contributing subtle texture and complexity. Bottled only in magnum and given a minimum of 56 months on lees to enhance the mouthfeel and depth. No malolactic fermentation, bright acidity and chalk-driven minerality define the finish. Trophy Winner at the IWSC 2026 Awards.

Black Chalk is a wine proud of its English heritage, with roots firmly planted in the chalklands of southern England. Black Chalk was used by the old masters to sketch ideas onto canvas before painstakingly creating a masterpiece.
