The 10-acre estate sits on the edge of Romney Marsh and is home to more than 16,000 vines, including Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, Chardonnay, Bacchus and Pinot Gris.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe vineyard is farmed with a strong focus on regenerative agriculture, soil health and biodiversity. Ham Street began with organic farming practices and subsequently gained biodynamic certification, taking a genuinely nature-first approach both in the vineyard and winery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eField Blend is a brilliant snapshot of the estate. Rather than separating each variety, the grapes come together in one cuvée, creating a wine that is fresh, juicy, floral and incredibly easy to drink, while still showing plenty of character from the site and vintage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA seriously good example of the new wave of English natural wine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eABV: 10%\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Monty Wines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58635727339903,"sku":null,"price":27.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0075\/8779\/0907\/files\/1BBAB3D6-A2F6-4AD6-811A-5E99C1A10C4D.jpg?v=1791364539","url":"https:\/\/www.montywines.co.uk\/products\/field-blend-2023-ham-street-wines","provider":"Monty Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
