exclusive VINTAGES

This is a prospect made all the more mouthwatering as some of these wines are celebrated internationally. This year Le Brun de Neuville won the International Wine & Spirit Competition (IWSC) Award for Best Champagne producer and Best Champagne 2015. Quite a feather in the cap for this small and very well-run co-operative in Sézanne near Champagne. Le Brun de Neuville was founded in 1963 by just twenty producers and now has 150 members and is producing some seriously good products.

The other exclusive relationship Lant Street Wines enjoy is with Waipara West, a New Zealand producer established in 1989 with some 60 acres of producing vines. The company is owned by a partnership called Tutton Sienko Hill, (Paul Tutton, of Tutton’s Covent Garden fame, his wife Olga Sienko, his sister Vic Tutton and her husband Lindsay Hill, a viticulturist who manages the vineyard). When they purchased the land they knew that although in 1989 it was an unsuccessful rabbit infested, sheep farm, it had a combination of factors suitable for the production of quality grapes – being further inland and higher than existing Waipara vineyards it was hotter and less frost prone due to natural air movement caused by the river and the sloping terraces.
