Our first vintage and a very special wine from our portfolio with a wonderful hazlenut and hot buttered toast character on the nose from our longest lees aged wine at over 80 months.
DiscoverOur first vintage holds a very special place in our hearts following the decision by the Warde family to plant vines on the North Downs in 2006 after negotiations with a French Champagne house broke down.
Made by the ‘traditional method’, using the classic Champagne varietals handpicked from our vineyard high on the North Downs this is a late disgorged vintage, with the wine having over 80 months in contact with champagne yeast in the bottle, or on the ‘lees’.
That ageing gives our wine a wonderful, distinct character perfectly described by our resident Master of Wine, Laura Evans in her tasting note below.
"Our first vintage and a very special wine from our portfolio with a wonderful hazlenut and hot buttered toast character on the nose from our longest lees aged wine at over 80 months. On the palate there is a real mouth-filling richness with concentrated flavours of peaches and cream and a nutty, yeasty finish that just keeps going.
A rich, complex wine that I would want to save for a special moment with my best friends."
