Wiston Estate Blanc de Blancs 2018 is a serious, Chardonnay-led English sparkling wine from the South Downs, showing nougat, lemon zest, greengage, apple, and pastry notes with bright linear acidity and chalky minerality. It is rich, ripe, and tightly focused, with long lees-aged depth.

The wine is made from whole-bunch Chardonnay from the original vineyard, gently pressed in a Coquard press, then fermented in a mix of old French barrels and stainless steel before spending months on lees and a further 4-5 years on cork and lees before release. Wiston positions the 2018 as one of its best Blanc de Blancs vintages, and it is made in a classic English sparkling style that emphasizes precision, freshness, and complexity.

Tasting Notes

Expect intense nougat and lemon zest on the nose, followed by ripe greengage, apples, pastry, buttery scones, candied lemon peel, white peach, honey, truffle, and almond croissant. The palate is broad but linear, with creamy lemon curd richness, bright acidity, and a long chalky finish.

Serving and Cellaring

Serve chilled at 6-8°C. Best with oysters, lobster, scallops, smoked salmon, or roast chicken, and it should continue to develop nicely for several years.
