If you’ve made your way to the Hattingley Blanc de Blancs, it probably means that you appreciate the finer things in life.

Despite a cold, wet start, 2018 was a virtually perfect growing season in what was a record-breaking summer period. 13% of the total blend was fermented in old Burgundy barrels with the remainder in tank for around six months, before undergoing secondary fermentation and spending more than five years ageing in bottle.

This will continue to mature and develop over the coming years so no need to rush to drink all of your bottles at once.

Ethan's One-Liner: “I was lucky enough to be able to serve the 2015 vintage on my wedding day, and I’m happy to report the 2018 would make the grade with style & aplomb. Trust me when I say you won’t want to share this”.

Tasting Note: A radiant pale gold, this classical Blanc de Blancs exudes delicate aromas of green apple, and quince jam, lifted by a light-footed citrus backbone. Creamy and textured, with buttered brioche and yellow plum, it leads to a long, dry, and savoury finish laced with richness. Built to age, this is the perfect sequel to the much-loved 2015 vintage. Drinking beautifully now but cellaring for 5 years would no doubt add to its charm.

Hattingley Valley

From its birth as a farm diversification project back in 2008, Hattingley has grown to become one of the leading wineries in the UK, based in rural Hampshire (just down the round from Caviste!).

The Robinson family made their initial steps in 2008 by planting the first vineyard on some of the farmland, but had no idea that it would lead to where it has, today.

Now, their site has a purpose-built, eco-friendly winery, that was constructed under the guidance of their Head Winemaker and Director, Emma Rice.

They are serious - and seriously good - winemakers, but they love to have a little fun , so expect the unexpected, embrace the unconventional, throw off the shackles of tradition and try the remarkable wines of Hattingley Valley.
