About this product
A 100% Chardonnay traditional method sparkling from the chalk soils of the South Downs — one of England's finest Blanc de Blancs. Exceptionally fine bubbles, aromas of white orchard fruit, lemon, chalk, oyster shell, brioche, and a saline freshness that unmistakably evokes the English coastal countryside. Extended lees aging produces a creamy autolytic complexity that rewards cellaring. Among the finest English sparkling wines for food pairing versatility.
