Pinot Noir
Pinot Noir 2023
Patching · West Sussex
£29.50
The first vintage to show what Selden’s south-facing slopes are genuinely capable of. A warm, settled September gave the Pinot Noir time to develop real depth while retaining the freshness that defines the estate. Structured enough to reward a decant, accessible enough to open tonight.

Pinot Blanc
Pinot Blanc 2024
Grown on the same slopes as the Pinot Noir and harvested at the same measured tempo. The 2024 vintage proved well-suited to Pinot Blanc: the cooler conditions preserved the natural freshness and structural composure that the variety does best. Closer in spirit to a serious Baden Weissburgunder than to the richer Alsatian style.
Green apple, white pear, citrus blossom, flinty mineral. Palate: Crisp acidity, creamy mid-palate, dry mineral finish. Precise and food-oriented.

The Selden Selection
One bottle of each wine. Three distinct expressions of the same south-facing estate — across two vintages and two varieties. The most complete introduction to South Downs Pinot — still and serious — that we can offer.

Pinot Noir
Pinot Noir 2024
A cool, wet summer tested every vineyard's resilience, and yields were down across the board. At Selden, rigorous selection produced a wine that, while lighter in volume, maintains the clarity and freshness that defines the estate. A wine for those who appreciate wines shaped by adversity rather than abundance.
Delicate cherry, strawberry, floral lift, cool mineral edge. Palate: Light-bodied, ethereal tannins, chalk-driven minerality. A cool-vintage classic.
