Why You'll Love It
This is one of the country's benchmark still white wines, proving that English wine is about far more than sparkling. Chardonnay leads the blend in 2023, bringing elegance and weight, while the Pinot varieties add texture, spice and complexity. Expect citrus, baked pear, apricot and toasted almond, wrapped around a beautifully chalky, mineral backbone. Rich enough to satisfy lovers of white Burgundy, yet vibrant enough to remain unmistakably English.

Pair it with shellfish, roast chicken, grilled fish or a good wedge of Comté.
About The Producer
Founded by Ben Witchell in 2015, Flint Vineyard has become one of England's most exciting producers of still wine. Ben's journey took him from an IT career to studying winemaking at Plumpton College before gaining experience in Beaujolais, where he developed a passion for producing expressive, food-friendly wines. Today, Flint combines fruit from its Norfolk home with carefully selected vineyards across the country's best cool-climate sites, producing wines that consistently challenge perceptions of what English wine can be. Silex has become the winery's signature still white, evolving every vintage as a living blueprint for English winemaking.
Winemaking Information
Silex is Flint Vineyard's flagship still white, blending the best parcels from Norfolk, Essex and Kent. Whole-bunch, cœur de cuvée juice is fermented in French oak barrels before undergoing full malolactic fermentation. The wine spends 12 months ageing on its lees with regular bâtonnage, building texture and complexity while retaining freshness. Bottled with minimal sulphur, without fining and only a very gentle filtration, Silex is a brilliant example of thoughtful, low-intervention English winemaking.
