Lemon zest, green apple and ripe greengage lead the nose, followed by nougat, pastry, toasted almond, grapefruit peel and a gentle smoky edge. It has the brightness and cut of great Chardonnay on chalk, but the 2018 vintage brings extra generosity and depth.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOn the palate, it is fine, creamy and wonderfully poised, with citrus energy, orchard fruit and a long, mineral finish. Extended lees ageing gives the wine its bready, savoury complexity, while the acidity keeps everything fresh, precise and food-friendly. A serious English sparkling wine for drinkers who want Champagne-level finesse with a clear South Downs identity.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFor when\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA celebration needs English sparkle with real pedigree.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePairs with\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eButtery crab on sourdough, oysters, scallops, lobster, seafood chowder, roast chicken, smoked trout, tempura vegetables, Comté or truffle popcorn.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWiston’s Blanc de Blancs is one of the estate’s signature wines, showing just how naturally Chardonnay suits the chalky slopes of the South Downs.
