(at Majestic Winter 2019 tasting, 21 Oct 2019)
Drinking Window: 2019 - 2022
New to Majestic this year, this blend of half Chardonnay with Pinot Noir and a touch of Meunier is made from Hampshire vineyards by one of English wine's top names. It's a celebration of the English countryside in the glass, with a lovely core of mellow red apple and pear fruit and a brioche richness. Named for the small Hampshire village that was studied in the 1700s by Gilbert White, regarded by many as England's first ecologist.
