Sparkling Wine That
Delivers

How it travels

Three stops between vine and glass

Traditional method means the bubbles are made in the bottle you drink from. It is slower, it is more work, and it is the only way to get this texture.

Stop 01

Pressed whole-cluster

Picked early for acid, pressed gently, fermented dry. The base wine is deliberately austere — it has a second job to do.

Stop 02

Sealed in the bottle

A second fermentation happens under crown cap, then the wine rests on its lees for eighteen months or more. Nothing is added to hurry it.

Stop 03

Disgorged & dispatched

Riddled, frozen, disgorged by hand at Hye, finished ultra brut, and sent out under our own postmark.

Since 1904

The building came first

Hye’s post office has been standing on this stretch of 290 for more than a century. In 1965 Lyndon Johnson swore in his Postmaster General on these steps.
