Description
The best vintage Blanc de Blanc sparkling wine from England!
We hope that Champagne lovers across the United States will take a chance on this amazing Sparkling wine from England! Put this on your upcoming Holiday wine table!
Wiston Estate Is one of the best-of-the-best in the fast-growing English Sparkling Wine category, and we are all just now finally able to get our hands on their vintage wares.
Sommeliers and merchants in London call 2018 the "breakout vintage!" The vintage conditions in 2018 south of London were nothing short of spectacular, and until now most of the 2018 vintage material has been hidden inside of non-vintage bottlings. The best of the best in long-tirage single-vintage releases are just now making their way to market.
2018 was hailed as England's “miracle vintage”, rocketing the country to a new level of sparkling wine stardom. From the chalky soils of the South Downs, BdB has long been the diva style of Wiston's stellar range, and for good reason. Showing some mushroomy character, it's beautifully complex, with layers of distinctive aromas, from thyme to green apple, lemon brioche and nougat. The acidity has a distinctively English edge to it, rolling over the tongue like cool river water over rocks. There's a pithy grapefruit bite. Poised and still remarkably youthful overall, with a subtle generosity that makes it remarkable versatile food pairing but utterly delicious now.
This is a beauty! If this were from Champagne it would be double if not triple the price!
