Farmed by the same family since 1743, Wiston in Sussex is a sprawling agricultural estate of essential grains, barley and oats and wheat. Millenia of sheep grazing and beef herd have prepared the land for viticulture. A mere sixteen hectares of vine yield an exceptional range of effervescent wines, Chardonnay performs brilliantly here, Pinot Meunier and Noir of a quality only ever seen on the sacred escarpments along River Marne. A finely beaded bouquet of English orchard, hazelnuts and brioche, a refined and elegant, Chardonnay driven palate of edifying complexity and depth.

The distinctive chalk cliffs of the Champagne region extend under the English Channel to resurface in Sussex as the South Downs. Viticulture has been a softly spoken industry here since Roman occupation, the propitious limestone escarpments and temperate seasons making a super clime for the production of exquisitely balanced sparklings. The sacred trinity of Champagne varietals, dominated by Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier, a measure of Chardonnay for structure and finesse, its comely pink blush is matched by the ripe red tang of cranberries, morello and sweet Seville orange spice.

The noble cépage of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, favoured slightly towards the masculinity and dominance of the weightier Pinot Noir, rich with creamy biscuit characters, very much in the style of Montagne de Reims. Strawberries on the bouquet, pear with hints of almond and yeasts, creamy, unctuous yet elegant, citrus and pastry characters, an exquisite balance from bouquet to back of palate, finishing with moreish length.
