2015 | Sugrue | Cuvee Boz Blanc de Blancs

Floral notes of white flowers and citrus, with precise and elegant fruit on the palate but with a weight and textural complexity.

Producer Information

In 2006, acclaimed winemaker Dermot Sugrue planted at Storrington Priory, a small vineyard at the foot of the South Downs. The first release of Sugrue was ‘The Trouble with Dreams’ 2009 vintage which went on sale in 2013, rapidly gaining critical acclaim. The Trouble with Dreams 2010 (now only available in limited-release magnum) and 2011 (now sold out) followed and then the 2013; like most UK vineyards, there was no 2012 vintage. All current vintages are on sale here, Early vintages used grapes from Storrington Priory, grapes from Mount Harry Vineyard now form an increasing portion of the blend. In 2017, Dermot released Cuvée Dr Brendan O’Regan, a very special, and very emotional family project; a tribute to his granduncle who invented Duty Free. Some years after a degree in Environmental Sciences at the University of East Anglia, Dermot studied Viticulture and Oenology at Plumpton College, Sussex. Following vintages in the UK he completed two seasons working in Bordeaux, at Chateau l’Eglise-Clinet, Pomerol and Chateau Leoville-Barton, St Julien. He joined Nyetimber in 2003 and was appointed Winemaker in 2004. Over the following years he oversaw Nyetimber’s emergence as one of the world’s greatest sparkling wine producers. He worked the 2006 vintage in Champagne for Jacquinot & Fils before joining Harry and Pip Goring to set up Wiston Estate winery, which is where he also crafts Sugrue. Dermot is also the winemaker for a number of highly respected wines produced under contract at Wiston, including Digby Fine English, Jenkyn Place and new producer Black Dog Hill as well as a good number of others.
