  • An elegant and complex expression of the exceptional chalky terroir from which it hails, it has delicious notes of grapefruit, lemon zest, orange blossom, and crushed oyster shells complemented by racy acidity.

The grapes come from the Jenkyn Place single vineyard, nestled in the Hampshire Downs. The vineyard covers five hectares of vines, on land that was previously used for cultivating hops. The vineyards sit on sheltered, chalky, south-facing slopes at 100 meters above sea level, with greens and soils over marlstone, making them ideal for growing high-quality grapes. The greensand topsoil at Jenkyn Place is scattered with eroded fragments of chalk, creating a distinctive -and possibly unique combination, which is beginning to be translated into the wines. Chalky soils are associated with more gently-fruited wines of notable finesse, while greensand soils deliver a rounder fruit profile. The first vines were planted in 2004, with further vines added in 2007 and 2010. The vines are grown traditionally with double Guyot training, and sustainable methods are employed to preserve the biodiversity of the environment. The grapes are hand-picked at optimum maturity, sweetness, and acidity levels.

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, Rose, 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 of English terroir and offers exceptional value for money.
