Hambledon Vineyard
Blanc de Blancs
Blanc de Blancs
Based on the 2018 harvest- a landmark vintage for English wine across the board, this represents the essence of our mission here at Hambledon Vineyard. Grown on our sunny, south facing vineyards on our estate, on belemnite chalk, this provides the perfect environment for growing exceptional Chardonnay.
Elegance & Vivacity
After more than four years maturing on its lees, there is an immediate sense of freshness, Bursting with the orchard fruit aromas so typical of Hambledon and dancing with creamy apple, quince, brioche and vanilla on the palette.
This Cuvée uses only the best Chardonnay berries from the landmark 2018 harvest, grown on the Chalk Slopes of Windmill Down.
After which, it was aged in our cellars for more than four years- and was finally finished this year with a dosage of 3.42g/l. This means our unique terroir truly shines through- an intentional choice from the beginning, six years ago.
