Castle Brook Blanc de Blancs 2015

A delightful, pale lemon-gold colour, the nose shows a beautiful balance of fresh lemon and spiced pear notes supported by the warmth of freshly risen bread and a touch of butter. A rich and powerful palate, with impressive complexity, and wonderful length.

The vine yard lies on a steep south facing slope in the Wye Valley, Herefordshire. With plenty of warm westerly air but in the rain shadow of the Black Mountains, the area is renowned for its fruit and vegetable production. The soil is mineral rich lying in an old meander of the river Wye.

Our grapes are hand harvested and gently crushed, using only the best juice and malolactic fermentation. The wine is then bottled in the traditional method.

The wine has been given a generous four plus years of resting on its lees in secondary fermentation, before disgorging and further resting for four plus months.
