2024 marked a turning point for us here at Candover Brook, we expanded our team to help enable growth. We also wanted to convey our message of regenerative farming and viticulture in a clearer and more forthright way. I have been involved in this area for many years, ranging from starting the Sustainable Restaurant Association back in 2009 to changing our Lockerley Estate into a beacon of regenerative farming to then turning our attention to Candover Brook. Our vineyard manager Samuel works very closely with our director of Farming, Craig so that they can develop practices to improve our soil. This is a relatively recent endeavour and we understand that it takes many years to continually improve our soil, in fact, we know we will never stop trying.
We have also updated some of our packaging and labels which you will start to see in the coming months, all helping to get our regenerative message across.
We hosted a fantastic event with our friends at Moro in the vineyard and will be looking to do more of these in 2025, so keep an eye on our emails in the next few months. We also sold out of our very first vintage Brut based on the 2018 harvest and have moved neatly onto 2019 which has been very well received. This will be entered into competitions and hopefully it will do just as well as the previous wine.
Thanks for all of your support!
