Balfour Hush Heath Blanc de Blancs 2018

Across a range of Kentish clay and chalk soils, only the best Chardonnay from Balfour’s top vineyards are found in this stunning wine. This vintage Blanc de Blancs from the fabulous 2018 harvest is only the third to be produced by Balfour in its history. A style which requires the very best conditions and ripest of fruit. The Chardonnay grapes for this single-vineyard wine came from Champagne clones in their Old 8 Acre and Foxwood Vineyards, planted in 2007.

There is an almost viscous quality to the wine, a lemon pale gold colour and a fine and sustained bead. A rich nose of lime blossom with hints of honey and green apple. The palate is wrapped around a lime citrus core with pear and honey showing. The finish offers fabulous hints of lime, salt, and white pepper.

Hidden deep in the Garden of England, Balfour Hush Heath Estate comprises 400 acres of perfectly manicured vineyards, apple orchards and ancient oak woodlands rich with wildlife, flora and fauna.
