Hattingley Valley Sparkling Wine Classic Reserve M.V.

48% Chardonnay, 33% Pinot Noir, 17% Pinot Meunier & 2% Pinot Gris. From vineyards on predominantly chalky soils across the south of England. Aged 8 months in partial (25%) neutral oak, then 21 months in the bottle before disgorgement. Get ripe apples and spring flowers, with toasty brioche and distinct minerality. Oak ageing adds texture and rounds out the wine. A fine alternative to Champagne.
