Blanc de Noirs 2013
£28.95
The beautiful rose gold colour of our Blanc de Noirs comes from the gentle whole bunch pressing of Pinot Noir grapes (hence, “white of blacks”). Coupled with extended on-lees ageing this has created a rich, complex and full sparkling wine with mature autolytic character and hints of red fruit notes, very typical of this style.
In the glass the wine displays a fine persistent mousse and an expressive complex nose of raspberry, white chocolate and brioche. In the mouth it is supremely smooth and poised with a vibrant acidity and lingering finish.

David Cleverly –
i tried this wine as part of a tasting session and it is exceptional. the colour is described as ‘rose gold’ and this exactly matches how the wine looks in the glass. it has a noticeable brioche/bread aroma and is rich and smooth on the palate. i have bought more bottles of this wine since the tasting. this is english sparkling wine at its best, and is a match for champagne that i have drunk costing significantly more.
