Harvest
2018 was a great year for the English wine industry with a nearly perfect growing season - a very cold and wet winter that delayed bud burst, ideal conditions at
flowering and a record-breaking long summer resulted in high yields and excellent quality fruit with a good concentration of sugars and balancing acidityWinemaking
The grapes were whole bunch pressed to extract the juice. 15% of the total blend was barrel fermented in old white Burgundy barrels, and partial malolactic fermentation took place in order to soften the wine's natural acidity. To ensure the consistency and continuity of our signature style, 37% of reserve wines (that had naturally softened and developed over time in oak barrels and stainless steel tanks) were added to the blend before secondary fermentation. After 4 years of ageing on lees in the bottle to add roundness and character, the wine was disgorged with a light dosage of 3 g/L.
‘The gloriously long, hot summer of 2018 was a legendary harvest for our vineyards, giving enormous quantities of flavourful, concentrated, ripe fruit. Yet the vibrant acidity that English Sparkling Wine is famous for was also there as a balance to the ripeness, providing a thrilling backdrop to the intense flavours of this great year.’
