Winemaking
Hattingley Valley use the traditional method for making their sparkling wines. Their best Chardonnay parcels were gently pressed as whole bunches in their Coquard press, which gives a very clean and soft Cuvée juice with fewer phenolics. Approximately 13% of the wine was fermented in old Burgundy barrels and partial malolactic fermentation took place to provide a round and creamy texture. The wine spent eight months in tank and barrel before undergoing secondary fermentation in the bottle, and five years ageing on its lees in order to soften the acidity and gain critical, complex lees-aged character. The wine was disgorged in March 2020 at 6 g/L residual sugar.
Our Expert Food Recommendation
Oysters and crab, fish and chips, smoked salmon, spicy dishes, berries and citrus desserts or simply on its own as the perfect aperitif.
