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.

Pinot Noir
Pinot Noir 2023
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.
Red cherry, fresh raspberry, dried rose petal, faint earthiness. Palate: Silky tannins, lively acidity, cherry and redcurrant with a subtle savoury finish.

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.
