Studying winemaking in the UK before travelling to work with Michael & Melanie Voelker at 2Naturkinder in Germany, Sophie returned home in 2022 to farm a single hectare of vines in Kent: working attentively with teas, ferments, and essential oils for disease control alongside biodynamic treatments.
Working with Pinots Gris & Noir, alongside a small planting of crossed varieties, Sophie's wines are a testament to her attention to detail, intuition and sheer love for winemaking.
