As seen on BBC Countryfile
Managing chalky soils in the Chilterns
JoJo's sits on Lewes Nodular, Seaford and Newhaven Chalk formations, laid down in shallow tropical seas during the Cretaceous period, between 72 and 94 million years ago, making this one of the oldest and most distinctive wine-growing soils in England.
The chalk is biogenic in origin, formed from the compressed carbonate shells of microscopic marine organisms called coccoliths, the same material that gives Champagne its character.
It is close to the surface, free-draining, and forces the vines to work hard for every drop of water and nutrient they can find, producing grapes with a concentration and depth that only stressed vines on thin soils can achieve.
The result is concentration. Wines with a taut minerality and brightness that you simply can't manufacture. It comes from the soil, the slope, and the struggle. BBC Countryfile visited JoJo's to explore what makes this corner of Oxfordshire so quietly remarkable for English wine.

"Rather intriguing aroma. Punchy, tense fruit with a hint of elderflower. Slightly spritzzy? It works!"
Jancis Robinson MW, on the Bacchus-Seyval Blanc 2022
Still White
Bacchus-Seyval Blanc 2022
The one that tastes like an English summer afternoon. Crisp, aromatic and completely at home in a garden glass. The chalky Chiltern Hills slopes give it a distinctive minerality and freshness that finds its way into every sip.
A vibrant and energetic white wine with great complexity. Low intervention winemaking which showcases the brilliant 2022 vintage here in Oxfordshire. Aromatic with notes of kiwi and echinacea tea, the palate is intense with pineapple and ripe grapefruit giving a well balanced finish.
The launch day
Five Masters of Wine at JoJo's

"Can't believe the Cuvée is so beautifully balanced for a zero dosage English wine. Remarkable."

Making the finest artisanal wine we can
We nurture the vines and grapes carefully both by hand and using the latest viticulture technologies to produce the highest quality grapes for our winemaker Tommy and the team at Langhams Winery, Dorset, to work their magic and produce delicious wines naturally and sustainably.
We take a low-intervention approach to both grape growing and wine production, constantly striving to minimise our environmental impact and produce honest wines that reflect our soils and location in the Chiltern Hills.
