Hattingley Valley Classic Reserve NV
Svelte, elegant, a delicate blossom and orange peel nose; apple and lemon curd on the palate
Hattingley Valley’s flagship wine is pale gold in colour with delicate and fine long-lasting bubbles. The beautifully complex bouquet combines aromas of white blossom, orange peel, freshly baked brioche and delicate toasted notes from ageing in bottle. On the palate, the complexity continues with notes of orchard fruit, lemon curd and apple pastries. Refreshing and perfectly balanced, with a delightfully long finish.
Approximately 10% of the total blend was fermented in old white Burgundy barrels and partial malolactic fermentation took place to soften the wine’s natural acidity. To ensure the consistency of their signature style, 67% of reserve wines were added to the blend before secondary fermentation. It spent over 4 years ageing on lees, to gain
extra roundness, before disgorgement.
Hattingley Valley is a family-owned business located in Hampshire. The Robinson family planted their first vines in 2008 and their modern, eco-friendly winery was completed in 2010. The vines, now covering 7 hectares, are nurtured throughout the growing year with an environmentally-sensitive approach to viticulture ensuring optimum ripeness, yield and quality of fruit.
