Wiston Estate Blanc de Blanc

Wiston Estate

Delightfully fresh with vibrant acidity and impeccable balance. Crisp green apple notes alongside white blossom, grapefruit and lemon zest. Delicate notes of kumquat are leading the way with flinty minerality with a hint of patisserie softness. The wine finishes crisp, clean and refreshing.

One to try with some with some seafood – oysters if they are your thing, if not maybe some smoked trout or potted shrimps.

The Chardonnay grapes are hand harvested in late autumn and are pressed as whole bunches. The juice is fermented in stainless steel tanks before being allowed to rest on its yeast lees for eight months, before being bottled the summer following harvest. At bottling, a portion of our reserve wines (which date back to 2008) is added to make up 20-30% of the final blend. The wine then undergoes slow secondary fermentation in bottle, and is kept on its lees, at cool 9-11°C for around three to four years, allowing it to mature and take on flavours and structure through the process of autolysis. The bottles were riddled and disgorged, with a dosage of 8g/l.

"Wiston is known for its multifaceted Blanc de Blancs and this non-vintage bottle is an excellent example." Christina Pickard, Wine Enthusiast - June 2023
