English Sparkling Wines
Chilford Hall Graduate 2018
Clean, fresh and floral with subtle hints of apple and lime.
This sparkling wine is a careful blend of hand selected Müller-Thurgau and Pinot Noir grapes brought together to produce a softer style of Brut Wine. The wine is clean, fresh and floral with subtle hints of apple and lime.
Initially planted in 1972, the vineyard is set out over 20 acres of free draining “flinty” soil which overlays chalk. Since its first planting, the vineyard has grown in size and now covers more than 20 acres, comprised of 9 different vine varieties each chosen to perfectly match the climate and soil conditions of the estate. The 2018 vintage was excellent for Chilford, as with so many English wine producers, and the wines express riper fruit flavours than typical, while still retaining fantastic acidity and freshness.
