Frequently asked about KIN Sparkling White
What is in KIN Sparkling White?
Seventy per cent Chardonnay blended with Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier, all grown at Kinsbrook in Thakeham, West Sussex.
Why does Kinsbrook avoid French wine terms on its labels?
The estate says it deliberately avoids French terminology, not as a slight to its neighbours but because it believes England should carve out its own wine identity. That is why the wine is called Sparkling White rather than a cuvee.
Is KIN Sparkling White dry?
Yes. Kinsbrook classes it as a dry sparkling wine, made by bottle fermentation in the traditional method.
