Tasting note
Warm hazelnut and yeast notes from this elegant Blanc de Blancs English sparkling; the palate is a bowlful of yellow peaches and nectarines.
Viticulture
The vines are planted on gentle slopes of sandstone, which aids drainage and provides good mineral pick up for our two sites, Foxhole and Pookchurch. The grapes are handpicked and the press wine, which would otherwise go to waste, is re-distilled to produce Gin and Vermouth.
Vinification
All fruit was hand-picked then whole-bunch pressed and fermented in stainless steel for around 14 days prior to malolactic fermentation. Bottle fermented and lees aged for 18 months prior to disgorgement.
Food Match
Great as an aperitif as well as matching shellfish, seafood and poultry to perfection.
