A True Expression of Sussex Terroir: Wiston Estate Blanc de Blancs 2018
Crafted in the heart of Sussex, the Wiston Estate Blanc de Blancs 2018 is a remarkable English sparkling wine made entirely from Chardonnay grapes. This single-vintage wine showcases the rich terroir of the region, offering an exceptional balance of freshness, complexity, and elegance.
On the nose, it greets with an intense bouquet of nougat, lemon zest, and delicate citrus aromas. The palate is a delightful journey, with layers of ripe greengage, apples, and pastry flavours. There’s a subtle note of buttered scones and candied lemon peel, which linger long after the first sip. Aged in a combination of mature oak barrels and stainless steel, this wine has developed a beautiful depth of flavour that reflects the careful craftsmanship of Wiston Estate.
While this sparkling wine is ready to enjoy now, its refined structure and balanced acidity make it an excellent candidate for ageing, rewarding those with patience.

| Winery | The Findon Park Vineyard of 6 ha was Wiston Estate's first planting - it was planted in 2006 with various Champagne and Burgundy clones. The vineyard is in a secluded spot in the South Downs - the valley benefits from excellent airflow, which helps stave off disease. It is also only 4km north of the South Coast of England, meaning spring frosts rarely endanger it. There is 30cm or so of toil soil before the solid chalk of the South Downs. This is particularly ideal for Pinot Noir - keeping it well-drained in wet weather but hydrated in dry spells. Vines are trained in Pendleton and single guyot methods with cover crops between alternate rows (also alternated yearly) to help with soil health, reduce compaction, and promote biodiversity. Sheep are allowed to graze between the vines in the winter months, allowing their manure to degrade them. A Lipco tunnel sprayer is used, which recycles spray during the year, thereby reducing chemical use by 40% and also creating less spray drift. Biodegradable tie-downs, home-produced compost, recycled pressed skins and pruned vine wood help to reduce carbon emissions and promote biodiversity. Grapes are all harvested by hand. |
