Mountfield Winery Classic Cuvée 2016

A luxuriant and textured wine, Mountfield’s classic cuvée displays a strong core of fruit, with aromas of red apple, red berries and citrus fruit. A portion of the base wines were aged in oak, adding gentle flavours of vanilla and spice, while four years lees ageing gives delicious notes of pastry and hazelnut. A true testament to the richness and complexity that can be achieved in English Sparkling Wine. This bottle would be a great pairing with white meat and fish dishes, canapes, or just on its own!

Mountfield Winery is a family-owned vineyard based in East Sussex. With just 14,000 vines of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier, they are a relatively small producer, and able to nurture every vine carefully throughout the season. Alongside careful and labour-intensive canopy management, Mountfield use barrel ageing and extended ageing on lees to produce small quantities of high-quality and complex sparkling wines.
