In 2024, Pembroke College turns 400. To mark this auspicious anniversary, the College has commissioned two Pembroke wines, Pembroke Pink & Pembroke 1624.
Pembroke 1624
This traditional style sparkling wine has been specially created by two of the College's alumni to celebrate the 400th anniversary of the founding of the College in 1624. This wine is made from a traditional blend ('cuvee') of all three classic Champagne grape varieties; Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier and produced using the traditional method. This wine was lovingly grown and produced in the Surrey Hills and has matured in bottle in Greyfriars' cellars for over five years before release. The traditional style of this sparkling wine is a homage to Pembroke's history.
Pembroke Pink
This rose sparkling wine has been specially created by two of the College's alumni to celebrate
the 400th anniversary of the founding of Pembroke College, Oxford in 1624. This delicately pale pink fizz is made entirely from Pinot Noir grapes using the traditional method. This wine was lovingly grown and produced in the Surrey Hills and has matured in Greyfriars' cellars for over four years before release. This wine is very modern in style and is redolent with Summer fruit and berries and looks towards the future as Pembroke enters its fifth century.
