Classic, vibrant aromas of citrus and green apple are balanced with subtle brioche notes and distinctive English minerality and finesse.
The estate-grown grapes were hand-picked over a two week period and the grapes from two different sparkling clones were vinified separately. The grapes were whole bunch pressed and fermented with wild and selected yeasts in stainless steel tanks, at controlled temperatures of 14 to 16°C. Malolactic conversion took place and the wines spent three months in stainless steel tanks, with 20% in barrel ageing on light lees. After a series of tastings, the wines were blended, filtered and bottled to undergo the ‘prise de mousse’. Following the bottle fermentation, the wine spent 36 months ageing on the lees.
