Classic Reserve | Hattingley Valley | Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier | Hampshire | England

Description The perfect aperitif or celebration drink. Hattingley Valley has quickly established itself as one of the UK’s most successful wineries, winning an abundance of awards, trophies and commendations. Made in the traditional way from grapes nurtured on Hampshire chalk, a small proportion of the wine is fermented in old white Burgundy barrels to soften it up and add texture and complexity to the finished wine. After second fermentation in bottle the wine is left to age on the lees for 3 years to add roundness and character, before release. Layers of complexity and depth on the nose with aromas of green apple, creamy nougat, freshly baked brioche and delicate toasted notes from ageing in bottle. The palate is equally complex and inviting with hints of citrus, vanilla, biscuit and a subtle oak character. Wonderful acidity and structure with a delightfully long finish.
