OUR BENCHMARK CUVEE
TASTING NOTES
The 2015 Cuvée has impressive depth and complexity, with that signature precision and elegance in spades. It has aromas of baked apple tart, with notes of baked pears too and a creamy pastry base. A touched of spiced honey is balanced by brisk acidity and a touch of salinity—making the finish long and balanced.
FOOD PAIRING
This wine has enough power to work with richer dishes, such as a fish dish with a creamy sauce or a full trimmings roast chicken.

Wine Making
Our vintage wines are only made in years when the vines produce the very best quality grapes. If you want to see for yourselves how this wine is made – come and join one of our winery tours…
Wiston Estate’s 2015 Cuvée has a filigree texture that retains our signature precision and elegance. A cacophony of nectarines, honey and brioche make this a real treat to sip away an evening with. It’s opulent style and focus allows for a gastronomic adventure too.
Fruit for this wine was picked in the warm October and November of 2015. The growing season that year began with a warm, frost-free period that encouraged bud burst. Temperatures cooled that spring, but by July had warmed enough for flowering, albeit a fortnight later than normal. A cool summer with unusually cold nights slowed the fruit and veraison was very late. However, a heatwave in September pushed into October and the dry weather gave us a small crop of exceptionally ripe and healthy grapes.
