Important Information
ⓘ You must be aged 18 or above to buy alcohol in the UK.
Hattingley Valley Vintage Cuvée is a deliciously light and fresh traditional method English sparkling wine from rural Hampshire.
The Robinson family, who own the vineyards, first began growing grapes in 2008, and they now operate one of the UK's most high-tech wineries.
This wine is a classic Champagne-style blend of Chardonnay (57%), Pinot Noir (28%) and Pinot Meunier (15%).
The producers whole bunch pressed the hand harvested grapes to extract top quality juice. 25% of the total blend was fermented in old white Burgundy barrels with 11% of the blend going through malolactic fermentation, in order to soften the wine’s natural acidity. To ensure the consistency and continuity of Hattingley's signature style, 12% of reserve wines (that had naturally softened and developed over time in oak barrels and stainless steel tanks) were added to the blend before secondary fermentation. It spent 5 years ageing on lees in bottle, to gain extra roundness before disgorgement.
Enjoy Hattingley Valley Vintage Cuvée as the perfect accompaniment to any party, paired with canapés.
