Flint Vineyard Silex Blanc 2024
Bright lemon and apricot fruit, enhanced by aromas of honey, biscotti and orange peel.
Silex 2024 reflects the cool precision of the vintage, its character shaped by Chardonnay, supported by Pinot Blanc, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Gris. Aromas of lemon curd, white peach, and almond are lifted with mineral freshness. Concrete egg contributes purity and tension, while neutral oak brings subtle breadth. Full malolactic fermentation softens the texture, and a year on lees builds savoury detail.
A small addition of 2023 Chardonnay enhances depth and continuity. The palate is bright and waxy, layered with citrus and orchard fruit, framed by taut acidity. Poised, complex, and confidently evolving.
66 % Chardonnay, 24 % Pinot Blanc, 6 % Pinot Noir, 4 % Pinot Girs. The 2024 blend puts Chardonnay at the fore, balancing its elegance alongside the structure of the Pinot varieties.
Based in the sunny and sheltered Waveney Valley in South Norfolk, overlooking the villages of Earsham and Bungay, Flint Vineyard’s winemaker Ben Witchell crafts wines using a blend of innovation and a respect for tradition. The vineyard site was selected as one of the driest and sunniest regions in England and the south-east facing vines are planted on free-draining gravel and flint soil.
