- An elegant, complex English sparkling wine combining a youthful purity of fruit with subtle toasty, nutty notes. The Brut NV opens with green apple, freshly cut lemons and hints of cream and biscuits. On the palate, the mousse is fine and textured with complex notes of apple compote, candied citrus peel and toasty notes. The finish is refreshing and long.
The fruit comes from two vineyards on the South Downs in West Sussex, which are above the 50th parallel and are influenced by a cool, coastal climate. The cool winters, moderate rainfall, temperate summers, and cooling sea breezes encourage the grapes to ripen slowly, retaining the natural acidity crucial for producing freshness in high-quality sparkling wine. The vines are grown on a chalk escarpment, which is not dissimilar to the soils found in the vineyards of the Cotes de Blancs in Champagne. These chalky soils provide excellent drainage for the vines and impart great elegance and finesse to the wines. The vines are planted at a density of 4,000 vines per hectare and are trained according to the Vertical Shoot Positioning (VSP) method with Guyot pruning. The vines are tended by hand, with careful canopy management ensuring maximum sunlight exposure in this capricious climate. The Wiston vineyard is run according to a strict philosophy of sustainability, with soil cultivation methods being used rather than synthetic preparations. The harvest takes place manually when the grapes have reached optimum maturity levels.

Winery | The Goring family has cared for the Wiston Estate, with its meadows, woodlands and buildings, and stewarded what it has produced since 1743. Today, Wiston’s cuvées, vintage and non-vintage, express an individuality of character and a singular style in every release. A good example is this Brut NV, which opens with a combination of green apples, freshly cut lemons and hints of cream and biscuits. On the palate, the mousse is fine and textured with complex notes of apple compote, candied citrus peel and toasty notes. Nestled in the heart of England’s rolling South Downs in West Sussex, the Goring Family has owned the Wiston Estate since 1743. The Goring Brut, Rosé and Blanc de Blancs are made exclusively for us and take their name from the Goring family. This exquisite trio of English sparkling wines showcases the best English terroir and offers exceptional value for money. |
