Chapel Down Kits Coty Bacchus 2018 English White Wine

Ripe lychee, peach, and melon aromas, a rich & generous palate with more tropical fruit

Chapel Down’s Kit’s Coty Bacchus is their flagship still wine. This very ripe style of Bacchus has lychee, peach, and ripe melon aromas with background oak influence. The palate is rich and generous with more tropical fruit flavours and a long, crisp finish. Kit’s Coty vineyard is a 95 acre vineyard on the North Downs of Kent. The southerly aspect ensures the vines capture the sunshine all year long while the warm, free draining chalk soils provide the perfect terroir for producing well balanced, intensely flavoured fruit. Restricting yields and maintaining vine balance allow vines to fulfil their potential, producing fruit that truly express their identity and the unique qualities of the soil. Harvested by hand in late September, grapes are whole bunch pressed before undergoing wild fermentation in third and fourth use French oak barrels for nine months adding complexity and richness to the wine.

Wiston Estate Rosé NV

Wiston Rosé NV captures the essence of summer, with fragrant notes of rhubarb, raspberry, strawberry, redcurrant, wild roses, lemon zest and a touch of sherbet on the finish. Underlying all of this is a backbone of crushed oyster shells, which reflects the pure chalk terroir where the vines are grown. It is a superbly elegant English Sparkling wine with tiny, persistent bubbles and a refreshing acidity that makes one go back for more. The Chardonnay was pressed in whole bunches using a traditional, gentle Coquard basket press – as used in the Champagne region – to preserve the delicate fruit flavours and aromas in the juice. The Pinot Noir was crushed and destemmed, and after a brief cold soak was fermented on its skins to achieve good colour and fruit character. Fermentation was short and quick to avoid extraction of tannins and to gain as much colour and fruit intensity as possible. Fermentation & maturation process: The juice was fermented entirely in stainless steel tanks. Each component of the final assemblage wine went through malolactic fermentation and was allowed to rest on its lees prior to bottling in July 2015, bringing additional complexity and structure. Ageing & disgorging: After blending, cold stabilisation and bottling (tirage), the wine underwent a slow secondary fermentation and was then kept on its side, under crown cap (sur lattes) at cool 9-11 degree temperatures for almost 3 years, while it matured and took on flavour and structure through the process of autolysis. Autolysis is one of the crucial processes in the production of high quality sparkling wines, imparting a unique combination of complex flavours and textural finesse (it is worth noting that Champagne must spend only 15 months on its lees). To preserve the wine’s natural poise and balance a dosage of 10g/l was required to complete the wine. Wiston Estate has been in the hands of the Goring family since 1743 and is presided over today by Harry and Pip Goring. The estate is managed by their son Richard and both he and his wife, Kirsty, are now involved in the day to day running of the vineyard and winery. It was Pip’s long-held conviction that the estate held the potential to grow high quality grapes. The 16-acre vineyard, planted in 2006, was the fruit of her dream and tenacity. Wiston Estate is a family venture, small in scale, impressive in aspiration and unrelenting in pursuit of quality. Under the aegis of award-winning winemaker Dermot Sugrue, the tight-knit team spares no effort in the vineyard or winery.
