Wiston Estate Brut NV | Magnum

Only 250 magnums produced. A refreshing, elegant and complete sparkling wine, with a fine complex finish that combines youthful purity of fruit with more mature characters from long lees-aging. A beautifully balanced wine. Used by Her Majesty The Queen in 2015 to launch P&O’s Britannia cruise liner:
“I selected Wiston Estate to launch Britannia thanks to its impeccable quality and for its poise between modernity and tradition. Wiston stands for passion and pride as a technically masterful English sparkling wine producer since 2006 with heritage as a farming estate stretching back to 1743. But the main reason is because its bubbly is irresistibly delicious!” Olly Smith.

The grape varieties are pressed separately and in whole bunches using a traditional, gentle Coquard basket press – as used in the Champagne region – to preserve the delicate fruit flavours and aromas in the juice. The current Brut NV Magnum is largely from grapes harvested and pressed in 2009.
