Vineyard
Crafted from handpicked fruit grown at our Roebuck, Roman Villa and Little Brockhurst vineyards in West Sussex, England.
Vinification
Carefully selected bunches of Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier grapes were gently whole bunch pressed and partially fermented in old Burgundian barrels followed by a generous period of lees ageing in bottle for a minimum of 36 months. A splash of Pinot Précoce was added as a still red wine at disgorgement imparting a pretty rose-pink tone and attractive red berry notes on this wine.
Maturation
Bottle-aged on lees for a minimum of 36 months.
