Crushed & Cured
Hattingley Valley, Classic Reserve NV
An elegant bronze gold colour with delicate aromas of nougat, orange peel and zesty citrus. Biscuit, pears and green apple notes on the palate with a hint of nuts. With a juicy bright acidity and a complex long finish.
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, 32% 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.
