Saffron Grange Vineyard Classic Cuvée 2018

The third vintage release of the Saffron Grange Classic Cuvée does not disappoint! It has an amazing nose to it, that we kept coming back to – notes of freshly picked white flowers, orange peel and brioche. The palate has hints of raspberries and baked apple leading to a long-lasting complex and refined finish.The wine is superbly well-balanced and has an exceptionally long finish; it was aged on lees for 24 months. It is a blend of 50% Pinot Noir, 35% Chardonnay and 15% Pinot Meunier. Saffron Grange is a family-run vineyard on the outskirts of the historic market town of Saffron Walden in North-West Essex. Their land is on the same chalk seam as Champagne, and situated on a gentle south-facing slope. Together with the cool, dry climate, the conditions are perfect for growing the highest quality grapes – and the family are perfectionists about turning these into the highest quality sparkling wines.
