The sandstone soils are some of the best in the country, providing the ideal setting to grow vines. The Bolney Wine Estate is a haven for wildlife, and through its traditional production methods and cultural practices, avidly promotes and maintains soil health, fertility and stability in its vineyards.

Traditional method quality sparkling wine with a fine mousse, tightly beaded. On the nose a touch of yeast with notes of raspberry and wild strawberry.

An ideal accompaniment to cheese or, perhaps try with a red berry dessert.

The hand-picked Pinot Noir was crushed then underwent a two day cold soak in stainless steel tank. It was cool fermented for around 14 days prior to malolactic fermentation. A varietal yeast was used for the first ferment and then the 18-2007 Champagne yeast for the second (in bottle). This wine was aged on the lees for a minimum of 32 months prior to disgorgement.
