OUR BENCHMARK SPARKLING WINE – A DELICIOUS TREAT
“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.” Neal Martin
Our Brut NV combines a purity of green apple and ripe lemon flavours with a rich and complex maturity. This multi-vintage wine is a highly-scented sparkling wine with fine bubbles, lots of toasty, biscuity autolysis from long lees-aging and a long finish.
Our NV wines are a composition of many vintages blended together. The journey of this wine started in 2008 where we reserved a small amount of wine. Each year that we harvest grapes and make wine, we build up our reserve wines. This allows us to create a style consistent year on year and show a piece of Wiston history in every glass. This current iteration is made up of 70% of wine from 2017. When it is ready to be released the wine is disgorged here at the winery, and allowed to rest before release.
