An ideal gift or treat for a wine lover – a bottle of our Wiston Estate Cuvée 2020 in a gift box with two Wiston English Sparkling Wine Glasses.

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 flagship Cuvée 2020 – The signature wine of Wiston Estate is a classic blend of chardonnay, pinot noir and pinot meunier. Super fresh and elegant, with a hint of spice from the oak ageing, linear citrus, fresh almonds, grapefruit and lemon posset.

The grapes were hand picked in mid October, and the varieties pressed separately in our coquard basket press – ideal for styles like this, allowing each variety to show boldly. The Pinot Noir, Meunier and Chardonnay were then fermented separately in aged French oak barrels. They were rested on lees until spring, then blended and fermented again in-bottle for a cool, slow three years. The first bottles were riddled and disgorged in 2024, and like all our wines, aged on cork to finish.
