OUR BENCHMARK WINE IN MAGNUM
WHY BUY A MAGNUM?
There are a number of factors which mean that the magnum has a number of advantages over the normal 75cl bottle when it comes to the ageing process – and these positively impact the resulting wine. Magnums slow down the traditional method bottle-aging process as they hold twice as much wine as a bottle, but have the same space between the bottom of the cork and the wine’s surface. The resulting reduced exposure to oxygen will slow down the wine’s aging – resulting in more complex flavours. As well as this the large liquid quantity of a magnum means that they are naturally less sensitive to temperature fluctuations – which can impact wine quality.
The NV Brut from Wiston has been a go-to English Sparkler for some time now… a steely, malic bouquet of dew-speckled Granny Smith apples, wet limestone and petrichor… the palate is full of tension thanks to the driving acidity… vivacious green apples intermixed with gooseberry and a touch of grapefruit
Description
We are so excited to have this wine available in magnum. Our Brut NV is our benchmark wine. It is one of the hardest to make, and one we are incredibly proud of. This delicious magnum is simply perfect for making a big event even more special. It is like an ‘amplified’ version of the normal bottle – the ageing in magnum allows for more complexity and intensity of flavour, a sumptuous balance, fine bubbles and a long finish.
Like the bottle, the wine combines a purity of freshly cut green apple and ripe lemon flavours with a rich and complex maturity. It is built like an apple tart… with fresh zesty apples on top with a touch of caramalised glaze, a hint of indulgent cream, toasty pastry and delicate nutty notes. The finish is long, satisfying and palate-stimulating.
