Created from Estate grown Chardonnay grapes, our Classic Method blanc de blancs embodies English purity and style. Pale gold with a fine mousse, this wine has classic aromas of citrus, balanced with hints of subtle patisserie and toasted macadamia nuts, lifted with notes of refreshing lemon sorbet. It has a distinctive minerality, clean and fresh on the palate with a smooth, persistent finish.
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 and barrel (20%) 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 April 2024.
"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
