Tasting note
An elegant and delicate, single vintage, traditional method sparkling wine. Salmon pink colour in the glass full of lots of tiny bubbles. Floral and red apple aromas lead to red apple & cranberry on the palate with a bright, fresh finish and lovely length.
Viticulture
The vines are planted on gentle slopes of sandstone, which aids drainage and provides good mineral pick up for our two sites. The grapes are handpicked and the press wine, which would otherwise go to waste, is re-distilled to produce Gin and Vermouth.
Vinification
In 2018, Bolney Estate prioritized vineyard characteristics. They used neutral yeast, mainly IOC 18-2007, retaining ripe flavours. Limited MLF due to the ripe year. The blend achieves balanced, subtle acidity.
Food Match
Pairs perfectly with hors d’oeuvres and starters, great withcheese, fish and some red berry desserts.
