NV Wiston Estate Blanc de Blancs

Wiston Estate is a family venture owned by the Goring family since 1743 and is presided over today by Harry and Pip Goring. The estate is managed by their son Richard, and he and his wife Kirsty are now in charge of the day to day running of the vineyard and winery. It was Pip’s long-held conviction that the estate held the potential to grow high quality grapes, having grown up in South Africa’s winelands, and thanks to the South Downs’ similarities of soil and climate to Champagne. The original 16-acre vineyard, planted in 2006, was the fruit of Pip’s dream and tenacity. Today, under winemaker Marcus Rayner-Ward, the tight-knit team spares no effort in the vineyard or winery employing biodynamic principles, respecting nature's cycles and fostering biodiversity. The vineyards lie on a south-facing chalk escarpment and are planted with Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier. The fruit is sourced from the estate’s own vineyards and a selection of long-term partner growers across the south-east of England.

Delightfully fresh with vibrant acidity and impeccable balance. Crisp green apple notes alongside white blossom, grapefruit and lemon zest. Delicate notes of white peach lead the way with flinty minerality and a hint of patisserie softness, clean and refreshing on the finish.
