Boco by House Coren
Unlike other sparkling wines from England, Boco by House Coren is produced using the Charmat method, a technique where the wine undergoes secondary fermentation in sealed tank rather than bottle. The secondary fermentation that occurs under pressure creates carbon dioxide and gives the wine its natural fizz. This preserves all the fruit flavours and subtle complexity that grapes in England are famous for while retaining acidity that gives a fresh, clean finish. It is a method that has been rarely used in England. Until now.

OUR INTERACTIVE VINEYARD
In May 2020 we planted 30,000 fledgling vines at our flagship vineyard, Lower Lodge Vineyard.
The interactive map shows where we have planted our various grapes.
Tap each field on our map below to find out more about each grape variety.
Chardonnay
Shar-don-ayye;
The grape with an international passport. Chardonnay is grown everywhere, from New Zealand to Northern America and even right here in the UK. In cooler climates, like at our vineyard, Chardonnay makes wine packed with apple and green fruit flavours tempered by fresh acidity.
Pinot Blanc
Pee-no-blonk;
The grape that likes to help. Known to help the celebrity varieties (Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier) pack a punch, Pinot Blanc can help elevate wine blends to a top-quality standard. Its lower levels of acidity and higher sugars can help round off wines and temper the crisp freshness English wines are renowned for. It will impart fresh apple and almond flavours.
Pinot Noir
Pee-no-nwar;
The grape that keeps its cool. Notoriously challenging to cultivate, Pinot Noir enjoys cooler climates where its fruit characteristics really shine through. In red wines, Pinot Noir shows red fruit and cherry flavours and imparts earthy flavours after aging. Interestingly, Pinot Noir is widely used in both white and rosé sparkling wines. In white sparkling wine, it bursts with fresh strawberry and citrus flavours. In rosé, these are amplified.

Pinot Noir Précoce
Pee-no-nwar-pree-cos;
The grape that gets up early. Just like its cousin (Pinot Noir), this variety has rich red fruit flavours like strawberry and cherry. It can be used in still red and sparkling wine production. It ripens earlier than Pinot Noir which can be a good thing for vines in England due to our shorter window of sunshine.
Pinot Meunier
Pee-no-moo-nee-er;
The grape with a woolly jumper. Pinot Meunier is easy to spot in the vineyard. All its leaves have a layer of fur. This is part of its namesake – meunier means ‘miller’ in French as the vines look like they have been hanging around in a mill and are covered in flour. Pinot Meunier is recognised to give body and complexity to some of the best blends out there.
