Blackbook Controversy Pinot Meunier White

Blackbook Controversy Pinot Meunier White

An unusual still white made from Pinot Meunier by Blackbook Winery in Battersea. Wild raspberry and redcurrant meet grapefruit, mandarin peel and delicate florals, with whole-bunch pressing, barrel fermentation and lees ageing adding subtle texture. Bright, tangy and refreshing, with considerably more character than its pale colour suggests.

Product Details

Blackbook Controversy Pinot Meunier White is pure rule-breaker energy in a glass. It’s a still Pinot Meunier that’s vibrant, juicy, and unapologetically fresh. Pale with a whisper of blush, it bursts with wild raspberry, redcurrant, and a twist of grapefruit and mandarin peel, all lifted by a flicker of red florals. The palate is zippy and mouth-watering, packed with tangy berry crunch and citrus zest, while a touch of barrel and lees ageing adds just enough silky texture to keep things interesting. Bright, sleek, and seriously drinkable, it finishes clean and refreshing. The kind of wine that disappears faster than you meant it to.

Grapes & Type Pinot Meunier · White Wines 🟢

Method Magic Blackbook Controversy Pinot Meunier White is the product of London’s urban wine rebels, Sergio and Lynsey Verrillo, who founded Blackbook Winery beneath the railway arches of Battersea with a mission to prove that still English wine can be bold, expressive, and world-class. Working with hand-picked grapes sourced from trusted growers just a short drive from the city, Sergio takes a low-intervention approach: native yeast fermentations, minimal sulphur, and a focus on purity of fruit. For Controversy, the Pinot Meunier is whole bunch pressed, fermented in seasoned Burgundy barrels, and aged on its lees to build texture and quiet complexity. The result is a wine that blends traditional craft with London edge. It’s small-batch, thoughtfully made, and unapologetically different.

About Blackbook Winery

Battersea, London England Founded 2017

Blackbook Winery is an urban winery based beneath a railway arch in Battersea, London. Founded in 2017 by Sergio and Lynsey Verrillo, it works with carefully selected English growers to produce distinctive small-batch wines, with cool-climate Chardonnay and Pinot Noir at the heart of the project.

Winemaker Sergio Verrillo trained in Viticulture and Oenology at Plumpton College before working harvests in England, California, Burgundy, South Africa and New Zealand. At Blackbook, he combines traditional winemaking with a minimalist approach, using indigenous yeasts and low sulphur where possible to produce wines that express the character of the fruit rather than conforming to a single house style.
