Winemaker Notes
Pale golden in color with a fine and delicate mousse. Hattingley Valley Blanc de Blancs Magnum offers the fragrant aromas of sweet apple, citrus and lemon curd. On the palate, a nutty warmth from notes of hazelnuts, is complimented by hints of shortbread and buttery croissant. Soft acidity enhances these flavors, while a creamy texture from oak ageing leads to a long, smooth finish. Simply splendid!

Representing the topmost expression of a Champagne house, a vintage Champagne is one made from the produce of a single, superior harvest year. Vintage Champagnes account for a mere 5% of total Champagne production and are produced about three times in a decade. Champagne is typically made as a blend of multiple years in order to preserve the house style; these will have non-vintage, or simply, NV on the label. The term, "vintage," as it applies to all wine, simply means a single harvest year.
The limestone soils of England’s southern end have proven ideal for the production of British sparkling wine. While it might seem too damp and cold for grape growing in England, recent warm summers and the onset of global warming signify great future growth for the British wine industry.
