Hundred Hills Hillside No 3 2019 is a vintage, traditional-method sparkling wine produced at the Hundred Hills estate in Oxfordshire. Hundred Hills has emerged as one of the most promising quality-orientated English sparkling wine producers of recent years. Working with a commitment to sustainability with minimal interference in the winery, it produces its exemplary range of sparkling wines entirely from estate-grown fruit in the Stonor Valley close to Henley. Hillside No 3 is produced from late-harvested Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes from across Hundred Hills` south-facing vineyard parcels. "Much more recognisably Champagne-like than the Preambles. Really sophisticated. Good grip on the palate and a dry but not drying finish. Long. Good mousse.” Jancis Robinson, 2022

Hundred Hills impresses with the 2019 Hillside no.3, an incisive, vibrant release from an extremely late pick—into November—of their chalk vineyards in the Stonor Valley during the cool and late yet rather fine 2019 season. There`s immediate, arresting aromatic breadth from the Pinot Noir in particular, with mirabelle and buttery apple tart immediate and expressive while ginger biscuit warmth and tangy nectarine complete a palate of nervy, yet integrated build, with flavor intensity keeping pace with racy acidity. Through its chalky, accelerating close, this is perhaps the estate`s finest release to date.
