Wiston Estate, Blanc de Blancs Vintage other_regions_australia The 2006 Brut Cuvée LouisWiston's 2015 Blanc de Blancs is one of the finest English sparkling wines that I have encountered to date. It was picked from October 22 to November 3 after a warm, dry October, the yield 15hl ha, 50% fermented in stainless steel and 50% in old Burgundy barrels and aged on the lees for nine months. Dosage is 8g L. This has a fantastic bouquet of bewitching scents of lime, green apple, honeysuckle and slithers of tinned peach, all beautifully defined.
