Wiston Estate WineryWiston Estate Blanc de Blancs NV

The Wiston Blanc de Blancs NV is delightfully fresh with vibrant acidity and impeccable balance. Crisp green apple and delicate notes of kumquat are leading the way with flinty minerality. The wine finishes soft, crisp and clean. Wiston’s NV wines are a composition of many vintages blended together. The journey of this wine started in 2009 when Wiston reserved a small amount of wine. Each year that they harvest grapes and make wine, they build up their reserve wines. This allows them to create a style consistent year on year and show a piece of Wiston history in every glass. Wiston press whole bunches of grapes through their Coquard basket press, (as used in Champagne), before fermenting in stainless steel and 500 litres oak barrels from Burgundy, then resting on its lees ahead of bottling. After bottling, it was kept cool and capped (sur lattes) for over two years before being disgorged at a low dosage in Spring 2022.

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.
