Wiston Estate
Owned by the Goring family since 1743, the Wiston Estate has recently emerged as one of the premier producers of sparkling wine in England, arriving onto the scene during a surge in interest and investment in high-quality wine in the country. With 16 acres under vine in the chalky soils of the South Downs they are a small-batch producer and easily give many a great Champagne grower a run for their money.

Vinous (95)Wiston's 2015 Blanc de Blancs is one of the finest English sparkling wines that I have encountered... to date. It was picked from October 22 to November 3 after a warm, dry October, the yield 15hl/ha, 50% fermented in stainless steel and 50% in old Burgundy barrels and aged on the lees for nine months. Dosage is 8g/L. This has a fantastic bouquet of bewitching scents of lime, green apple, honeysuckle and slithers of tinned peach, all beautifully defined. The palate does not disappoint, delivering exquisite balance, wonderful focus and a touch of mineralité toward the harmonious finish. Now this is how you make a great Blanc de Blancs. |
