GENERAL WINE DESCRIPTION

Our Blanc de Noirs is a traditional bottle fermented English sparkling wine. Very fine bubbles and a golden colour.  A full-bodied Sparkling wine with subtle underlying citrus hints on the palate are complemented by classic biscuit and brioche character typical of extended bottle maturation on the lees. This sparkling is everything you would expect of any superior sparkling wine; fresh, rich, rounded and full of complexity.
