Castle Brook Blanc de Blancs Sparkling Wine 2017 75cl

Castle Brook Blanc De Blancs English Sparkling Wine 

This traditional method English wine is crafted exclusively from Chardonnay grapes grown in the Wye Valley, producing a refined Blanc de Blancs. The vineyard, established by the Chinn family on the site of an ancient Roman vineyard, is located in Herefordshire and benefits from a unique microclimate. South-facing slopes and warm westerly airflow provide ideal conditions for ripening. With 21 Chardonnay clones across three rootstocks, the vineyard yields exceptional fruit. This Herefordshire wine is aged for over four years on its lees, delivering both freshness and depth. The result is a sparkling wine of precision, complexity, and elegance—perfect for pairing with fine food or enjoying as an aperitif.
