Red & White Sparkling Wines
Enjoy the best of both worlds with one bottle each of our 2018 Chardonnay-based Blanc de Blancs and Pinot Noir-dominant Blanc de Noirs. These Sussex Sparkling wines showcase the most prestigious cuvées in our portfolio from what has widely been considered the vintage of the decade.
This delightfully fruity style matches beautifully with intensely umami-sweet flavours delivered by steamed barbecue pork buns, crispy duck with hoisin sauce or Japanese Nimono dishes.
“Liquorice nose. It’s hard to believe the dosage is so low, because the ripeness and roundness of fruit on this wine is exceptional. Pin-point-fine bubbles snap the lemon and blueberry fruit into taut lines. There’s a cool stoniness, like mossy concrete; an almost imperceptible peppery nuttiness; and then the wine momentarily widens into sweet pear before narrowing into a piercing finish.” Tamlyn Currin for jancisrobinson.com

The 2018 Blanc de Blancs is a true reflection of the 2018 vintage on our Sussex Estate, brought to life by the saline inflection from our coastal terroir.
A lime-gold beading delivers a vibrant nose of mock orange and lemon thyme, a complex palate of fresh kiwi and candied kumquat zest, with a grapefruit sherbet finish.
“A rather fruity nose shows off hints of lime and Granny Smith apple, but also notions of ripe stone fruit. The palate is slender, has fine, soft and lively mousse but most striking is the fresh balance that shows off 2018’s ripeness – yes, there is wonderful English acidity, but it is ripe and rounded and juicy, making this an incredibly harmonious wine. The perfect summer aperitif in fact.” Anne Krebiehl MW, Falstaff
