English Still Wines

Balfour Hush Heath Cinque Ports 2019

Hints of hyacinth & orange blossom on the nose; the palate shimmers with tropical lime & coconut yeasty brioche

A blend of the five white varieties of Champagne; Chardonnay, Pinot Blanc, Pinot Gris, Arbanne and Petite Meslier. Elegant and refined, each of the five components were chosen for their subtlety rather than their power. After blending, the wine was aged for nine months in French Fontainebleau barrels with prolonged lees ageing in tank and barrel to add texture and subtlety. A wine of elegance and harmony. A signature Fergus Elias white with complex, perfumed and an ever changing nose and palate. There are hints of hyacinth, mayflower and orange blossom on the nose. The palate shimmers with tropical lime and coconut yeasty brioche. Barrels, battonage and patience have created a truly unique wine.
