Tidebrook Wines
Set in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Tidebrook is located in East Sussex between the medieval villages of Mayfield and Wadhurst. The brook for which Tidebrook is named, rises in the valley and flows through Mousehall Country Estate, forming one of the sources of the River Rother, meeting the sea at Rye. In bygone years, the iron industry and later the hop industry were significant in this area, the latter giving rise to the distinctive Oast found on Mousehall.
Tidebrook Six Petals Rose 2023
12.5% vol | Pinot Noir & Pinot Meunier | 750mlThe Medieval buildings at Mousehall contain many six-petal apotropaic marks known as hexafoils or ‘daisy wheels’, perceived as a good luck symbol to protect against evil. Our dry rosé has aromas of hedgerow fruit with an underlying freshness. Longer lees contact in tank is expressed as a brioche aroma with a creamy texture.
Tidebrook Staddle Stone Chardonnay 2023:
12.5% vol | 100% Chardonnay | 750ml
Staddle Stone is derived from Old English ‘stathol’, meaning foundation or support. A series of mushroom-shaped medieval staddle stones demarcate the boundary of our chardonnay vineyard at Mousehall. Whole grape clusters were gently pressed, and the juice naturally settled, before fermentation and aging in 228-litre French oak barrels for 10 months. A small proportion of tank-fermented wine was blended in to enhance the fresh, citrus flavours.
Tidebrook Medieval Monk Pinot Gris 2023
12.5% vol | 100% Pinot Gris | 750mlPinot Gris has a history going back to medieval times. Known as the Grey Monk (gris = grey in French), the variety is an ancient pink-grey mutation of Pinot Noir, originating in Burgundy, where the vines thrived on the slopes of the Cote d’Or. Cistercian Monks spread these vines and their viticultural practices throughout Europe in the Middle Ages. Pinot Beurot is a synonym in Burgundy for the grape, named after the grey pink to even brown colour of the frieze (bure in French) worn by the Cistercian monks. Adapting well to the English climate, the variety has complex citrus, apple and freshly cut pear and white peach flavours with a well balanced finish. A creamy texture from extended time on the yeast lees in tank is complimented by the fresh zesty flavours.
