The 2023 Hedge Line by Matt Gregory is a brilliant example of how English wine is redefining expectations. Grown in the rolling countryside of Leicestershire—more known for cheese than Chardonnay—this wine is proof that with the right microclimate and a committed winemaker, something truly special can emerge. Matt Gregory, an ex-sound engineer turned winemaker, cultivates just a few hectares of vines on south-facing slopes, capitalising on the limestone-rich soils and cool-climate precision.
The 2023 vintage benefited from a long, mild summer and a crisp autumn, allowing for extended hang time and excellent phenolic ripeness. Hedge Line is aromatic and zippy—think elderflower, gooseberry and citrus peel, with a hint of meadow herbs. It's light on its feet but textural, with a steely backbone.
Pair it with goat's cheese salad, grilled sea bass, or even a summer picnic scotch egg—it’s delightfully versatile and proudly Leicestershire.
