We’ve just completed bottling our 2023 vintage @BalfourWinery —800,000 bottles filled over 400+ hours of line time logged. My sincere thanks to the dedicated team for their exceptional work. This milestone also marks my 2,500,000th bottle as Head Winemaker. #Balfour2023

@spskelton Some beautiful oaks around the Tenterden Vineyard, my personal favourite is the one adjacent to the Sanctuary tasting room dated at 4-500yrs old and still just a nipper

@JoshDSpire I know that oak tree. Didn’t plant it but 50 years ago it was a lot smaller.

Absolutely blown away to share that our Chapel Down Brut has been named as the "best English wine" by The @guardian. With its characteristic "crisp and fresh style" praised, we're so proud of this recognition! Pick up your bottle in @sainsburys 🥂 theguardian.com/food/article/2…

@VinopolisTom Thanks Tom, we’re delighted. The vineyards we’ve planted on the Kent Downs over the last 10-15 years are starting to show in the wines on release 👍

@AndyDEvans They most certainly do, an excellent and comprehensive English Wine list. I’m reading all the Harry Potter books concurrently with my son, very enjoyable but also looking forward to something a bit weightier!

Boys Hall in Kent, what an amazing place. Delicious food and wine, stunning rooms and welcoming staff. What Brad and Kristie have achieved here is remarkable. Don’t wait until you come to Kent, make it the reason you come. Sharing a rare photo my wife took of me relaxing
