Oxney Estate Classic 2018 Chardonnay (Blanc de Blancs)

This vintage English sparkling is gorgeously rich and shows a real depth. Oxney Estate Classic 2018 Chardonnay greets you with aromas of citrus fruits, honeyed apple, apricots and brioche, followed by fresh mineral notes. The mouthfeel is creamy, yet fresh, with a playful touch of salinity and a long finish.

2018 was a perfect vineyard year – no spring frosts, excellent flowering weather and a great summer resulting in super quality grapes. The grapes for Oxney Estate Classic 2018 Chardonnay were hand picked from organic vineyards, located just a stone's throw from the English Channel. Part of the grapes were fermented and aged in old Burgundian oak. The second fermentation was carried out in the bottle, according to the traditional method. The wine spent 36 months on lees achieving a great complexity of flavours.

Matthew Jukes, Daily Mail:

Oxney ticks every single box there is and a few more that I am probably unaware of too. The entire portfolio of new releases this summer, is amazing and these wines are made with unmistakable care and attention. They are, prepare yourself for a much-maligned expression, definitive crowd-pleasers, in flavour terms, but there is serious detail here, too.
