55% Chardonnay, 34% Pinot Noir and 11% Pinot Meunier from vineyards in Kent, Sussex and Essex on varied soils including chalk, clay and loam. 2019 was a cool year. The grapes were fermented separately before being blended, after which the wine went through full malolactic conversion. A portion of the wine was from reserves which had been stored in barrel and tank to add complexity and depth to the palate. Maturation on fine lees in tank for six months before bottling and a minimum of three years further ageing on lees in bottle. Winemaker Josh Donaghay-Spire. TA 7.9 g/l, pH 3.07, RS 7 g/l. Bottle weight 835 g. Natural cork. Available in up to 100 shops.
Full-bodied (for English sparkling) with weight on the palate, a deeper colour than many. Complexity on the palate, autolytic character and typical English acidity underneath to keep everything on track. Not cheap but there is a lot to like here. (AWH)
