Wiston Estate Blanc de Blancs

Wonderful English Blanc de Blancs. 

A top quality non-vintage Blanc de Blancs from one of the best producers in England. Fresher and a little easier going than the Vintage version of this wine, the non-vintage is fantastic value as an example of Chardonnay grown on the chalk soils of West Sussex. 

Their NV wines are a composition of many vintages blended. The journey of this wine started in 2009 where they reserved a small amount of wine. Each year that they harvest grapes and make wine, they build up their reserve wines. This allows them to create a style consistent year on year and show a piece of Wiston history in every glass. This current iteration is made up of 80% of wine from 2018. 

The Blanc de Blancs is a rich and intense wine. The nose is 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.

Wiston Estate

Wiston Estate

Deep rooted in the rolling hills, valleys and steep escarpments of the South Downs, Wiston Estate’s vineyards mark a new chapter in its long and fascinating history. After hundreds of years and generations of traditional arable and livestock farming on this ancient landscape, vines now grow on sites selected for their combination of soils, microclimate and aspect.

The vineyards consistently produce exceptional fruit and Wiston's winemaking philosophy is quite simply to guide it through the production process in as gentle a way possible, to allow maximum purity of expression. Making great quality traditional method sparkling wine takes time and fastidious attention to detail.

Championed as being the best examples of their type in the UK, Wiston's cuvées, both vintage and non-vintage, express an individuality of character and singular style with every release.
