Very clearly a Pinot Noir dominant fizz, it is vinous, structured, and savoury, and will appeal to lovers of the Blanc de Noirs style. Taut and reverberating with energy and thrilling cool-climate tension – yet not austere, as some English sparkling can be. Instead, it has striking mid-palate richness and a super persistent, saline finish. Disgorged in September 2020, and therefore with almost six years of ageing on the lees, the mousse is incredibly fine and gentle, and the autolytic character seamlessly integrated.

Sourced from the estate's own Tillington vineyard in West Sussex, the single-vineyard sparkling wine is only produced in the best years. This is the fourth release after 2009, 2010 and 2013. Pale gold with a pinkish hue. Passionate and floral on the nose, with toasty acacia blossom, fresh raspberry and red apple notes. Honeyed on the palate with great depth of red apple, honeysuckle and white pepper-seasoned citrus. The textured, buttery mousse unravels a tight core of salinity and vivid acidity. The savoury lime peel bitterness on the finish is cleansing and salivating. Riddled in September 2019 and disgorged a year later.
