Winery Notes - " The Classic...What a delight! Made from 50% Chardonnay,34% Pinot Meunier,16%Pinot Noir, with 6.9% residual sugar,13% reserve wine and 40% malolactic fermentation.
On the nose, brioche, apple and citrus as is the case with most English Sparkling wines, but not Granny Smith or other green apples, but the delightful Russet apple (my favourite apple) so I am prejudiced. On the palate delicious hints of Russet apple. as well as a slight hint of white melon, balanced by citrus to give good acidity. Great minerality is displayed too. What is particularly impressive is the very fine mousse and the longevity on the palate. It just went on and on but finished on a fresh note."
