The Story

Elisha Rai and Tom Cannon founded Folc in 2019 after leaving careers in the City. They chose to specialise in English rosé, buying grapes from independent growers and working with a specialist winery in Canterbury. The name Folc comes from an Old English word for people or community.

Our Terroir & Heritage

The Vineyards

Folc sources grapes from family growers in Kent, Suffolk and Sussex. These vineyards have a range of soils, including chalk, sandy clay and greensand. The still rosés use several varieties, including Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, Pinot Précoce, Pinot Gris, Chardonnay, Bacchus and Ortega. The sparkling rosé uses Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier.

The Winemaker

WINEMAKER

Nick Lane

Folc’s wines are made at Defined Wine in Canterbury, where Nick Lane leads the winemaking team. His experience includes Burgundy, Cloudy Bay and Dom Pérignon. The still rosés are blended for a pale, dry style, while the traditional-method sparkling rosé gains texture from ageing on the lees.
