2018 Brut Reserve
2018 Brut Reserve
Technical update
First disgorgement: August 2021
First release date (after being left ‘on cork’) : December 2021
2018 was a truly wonderful year in the vineyard. This, our fourth release, was made at Hattingley Valley and then disgorged by Daniel Ham at Offbeat Wines. Daniel is our new wine maker. The grapes were hand harvested and whole bunch pressed. After blending, the wine underwent a secondary fermentation in bottle and then spent 30 months on its yeast lees and a further 6 months on cork in cellar. Our first disgorgement of the 2018 vintage is released December 2021.
Tasting notes
Our elegant 2018 sparkling is perfect for all occasions. Pale straw in colour with a stream of fine bubbles, our brut reserve has a well-developed autolytic character on the nose with aromas of English apples, summer fruit and a toastiness on the palate. It has a rich mouth feel and will continue to develop further complexity with bottle age.
