Decanter World Wine Awards 2022 Gold
Aged on the lees for four years in the bottle, Hattingly Valley's Classic Reserve layers mellow sophistication upon the inherently vibrant fruit conferred by England's growing conditions. The bubbles form a classically fine 'mousse', and the aromas and flavours evoke bright lemon, hedgerow blossom and baked apple, with toasted brioche and slivered almonds. It has marvellously fine texture and a lovely finish. This is a Champagne-style blend: the largest component being Chardonnay, followed by Pinots Noir and Meunier.

Press Review
" Subtle and complex, this wine has nuts, citrus, flint, green apples and blossom on the nose. Complex, with a core of fruit supplemented by savoury bread flavours. Green apples, quince, honey, lemons, pear skins mingle with nuts, spice and a touch of flint. Assertive mousse and a bold green apple and honeysuckle finish. 96/100 Decanter World Wine Awards 2022 "
Winemaking
The hand harvested grapes were whole bunch pressed to extract top quality juice. 15% of the total blend was barrel fermented in old white Burgundy barrels & partial malolactic fermentation took place in order to soften the wine’s natural acidity. To ensure the consistency and continuity of our signature style, 37% of reserve wines (that had naturally softened and developed over time in oak barrels & stainless steel tanks) were added to the blend before secondary fermentation. After 4 years ageing on lees in bottle to add roundness and character, the wine was disgorged with a light dosage of 3 g/L.
Our Expert Food Recommendation
Oysters and crab, fish and chips, berries and citrus desserts or simply on its own as the perfect aperitif.
