"Especially Recommended. Long mineral finish, adds the little extra. Excellent English Sparkling wine with soul." - Botti.No “Sourced from the chalk soils in the North Downs of Kent, the latest vintage release of Simpsons’ White Cliffs Blanc de Blancs presents a more mineral, linear expression compared to the 2018 vintage. Aged for 36 months on lees, it showcases toasty lemon sorbet on the nose and palate, with plenty of lime zest, kiwi and crunchy green apple peel, leading to a cleansing, precise finish.” – 90 Points – Sylvia Wu for Decanter Magazine
