2018 Illustration No.1 £175.00
Made in small quantities, our latest release and a precursor to our Illustration series, showcasing the very finest, long-aging wines, we feel each vintage in turn has offered us. A proven combination of Chardonnay 95 from our steep Hillside vineyards and Pinot Noir 115 from our Winery Bank vineyard, with 40 months on the lees, fermentation in wood, and a partial-malo, this is a unique sparkling finished in extra brut form. Warm, rich notes of yellow plums and apricots, ripe red apple skins and raspberries, with a savouriness and salinity on the finish that only emphasises its delicacy. Drink any time before 2040!

The touch of extra-brut dosage finishes this wine perfectly, revealing a juiciness to the orchard and stone fruits, a caramelised aroma to the pastry notes, reminiscent of a fresh apple pie, and with a gentle breadth on the palate.
