100% Chardonnay
 
This is a ‘magnified’ version of Wiston’s Blanc de Blancs NV. The wine has been ageing on lees since 2015 and is a stunning example of traditional method English sparkling chardonnay. The base harvest of 2014 was superb, producing some fabulous vintage wines.
 
This wine is a blend of that harvest and older reserve vintages which we held back in the winery, which give added complexity and depth. This is a rich and intense wine, with a nose full of baked apricots, vanilla bean and lemon tart (from the glaze to the pastry)! The body is full – the extended lees ageing imparting a textured feel and a wonderfully fine mousse. There are notes of brioche, sweet green apple and a long, buttery finish.
 
Critic Review:
“The NV Blanc de Blancs has a superb bouquet: vibrant and quite stony with plenty of dew-speckled Granny Smith apples.”
