Discover the elegance and finesse of Wiston Estate Blanc de Blancs, an outstanding English sparkling wine crafted in the heart of West Sussex. Meticulously produced from 100% Chardonnay grapes, this wine embodies the expertise and visionary spirit of the Goring family, who have cared for the Wiston Estate since 1743. The vineyard's south-facing chalk slopes mirror the terroir of Champagne, providing the optimal conditions for the Chardonnay vines to flourish, while sustainable viticultural practices and traditional winemaking techniques ensure quality in every bottle. Each grape is hand-harvested and pressed as whole bunches, with the base wine aged on its lees for complexity and depth before a carefully managed secondary bottle fermentation.
