ABOUT

FROM SPARK TO SPARKLE

"We’re Allie and Archie- long time friends united by a
shared love of English wine. Over the past eight years, we’ve travelled the
length of the country visiting vineyards, championing producers, and immersing
ourselves in the world of English wine.

It was during those post-lockdown days that we decided to
turn our passion into something of our own, and so Dancing Duchess was born.

A celebration of craft, joy and character, Dancing Duchess
is a sparkling rosé that is our love letter to English wine-expressive,
elegant, and made to bring people together."

We wanted to create a wine that feels joyful and unpretentious, but still deeply thoughtful. Dancing Duchess is a tribute to English elegance and British charm with a playful soul.

Our goal was to create a beautiful, modern and playful wine crafted from England's finest grapes.

OUR WINEMAKING

From the very beginning, we knew exactly what we wanted to create, a sparkling rosé made exclusively from 100% Pinot Meunier. A rare expression in the UK, this single-varietal cuvée allows the vibrant fruit character and delicate texture of Meunier to shine.

The grapes for our debut release come from the outstanding 2022 vintage, sourced from select vineyards in Kent, a region celebrated for its chalk-rich soils and cool climate, ideal for growing world-class sparkling wine grapes.

Made using the traditional method, with nearly two years spent ageing on the lees, Dancing Duchess is a dry style sparkling rosé that balances freshness and finesse.

The wine is expertly crafted in collaboration with the award-winning team at Defined Wines in Kent, whose precision and passion helped bring our vision to life.

Dancing Duchess has a unique advantage- the freedom to source they grapes they want each vintage, adapt with the seasons and blend deep industry expertise with creative vision.
