White Cliffs 2018 is the second release of the Blanc de Blancs sparkling wine from Simpsons' Wine Estate. Created from 100% estate-grown Chardonnay and expertly crafted using the Great British Classic Method, this wine has been produced from grapes picked during the Simpsons’ third harvest in October 2018.

Sold by the case of 6 x 75cl bottles. £270.00 per 6 bottle case (£45.00 per bottle)

Tasting Notes

Pale gold with a fine mousse, this wine has classic aromas of citrus and green apple, balanced with subtle, toasted brioche notes and distinctive minerality, ending in a rich, persistent finish.

Technical Details

Grape Variety: 100% Chardonnay

Alcohol: 12.5% Vol.

Harvesting & Vinification: Grapes from two different sparkling Chardonnay clones, 121 and 124, were picked separately over a two-week period. Each clone was fermented individually using a selection of different yeasts.

Secondary Fermentation & Ageing: All the primary vinified components then underwent malolactic fermentation and spent 3 months in tank ageing on light lees. After a series of tastings, the wine was blended, filtered and bottled to undergo the ‘prise de mousse’. Following the bottle fermentation, the wine spent 36 months ageing on yeast lees prior to disgorgement in January 2022.
