Mountfield Winery, Blanc de Blancs, NV

'One-Liner'
A rich, mature English Blanc de Blancs with citrus, green apple, brioche and bright Sussex freshness.

Tasting Note
Deep golden in the glass with fine, persistent bubbles. The nose shows citrus, green apple, white flowers and a gentle brioche note from extended lees ageing. On the palate it is creamy, rounded and mature, with orchard fruit, lemony brightness and a savoury, toasty edge. There’s richness here, but the acidity keeps everything lifted and precise. A beautifully poised English sparkling wine with texture, freshness and proper depth.

The Story
Mountfield Winery is based near Robertsbridge in East Sussex, with vines planted on a south-facing site between 50 and 85 metres above sea level. The vineyard sits on greensand and clay over sandstone, giving the estate a strong mineral backbone and the kind of cool-climate conditions that suit traditional-method sparkling wine.
