Produced exclusively from our own estate in Hampshire, our first Blanc de Blancs is a stunning blend based on the 2018 harvest (one of our best yet), with optimum climatic conditions and terroir expression.
Made as a tribute to the modern history and essence of Hambledon Vineyard: the finest Chardonnay grapes coming from our historic vineyard. After maturing on its lees for more than four years, there is an immediate sense of freshness, full of orchard fruit aromas and dancing with creamy apple, quince, brioche and vanilla on the palette, finishing on a ripple of vivacity- the hallmark of all the best English Sparkling Wines.

"Aromas of brioche, pretzel and creamy apple unfold with richness and charm. The palate is broad and bold, with layers of custard tart, yeasty depth and zesty citrus. Vigorous and invigorating, with a long and flavourful finish."

“Based on the highly regarded 2018 vintage, the Blanc de Blancs – a new addition to the producer's portfolio – was primarily sourced from the south-facing Windmill Down vineyards on belemnite chalk. The NV release was aged on lees for four years. A richly bready, honeyed nose reveals citrus and chamomile, while the palate is round and textured yet driven by vivid freshness. Ginger-spiced with caramelised citrus, mango, and pineapple, leading to a nutty depth that lingers long.”
