Nestled on the chalky slopes of the South Downs in West Sussex, Wiston Estate has rapidly established itself as one of England’s premier sparkling wine producers. The Goring family, stewards of the estate for over three centuries, began their winemaking journey in 2006, inspired by the terroir’s remarkable similarities to Champagne. Wiston has earned international acclaim for its precision-crafted, traditional method sparkling wines. Farmed sustainably and harvested by hand, Wiston’s wines reflect a meticulous attention to detail and a commitment to expressing the purity and energy of English terroir.
Wiston Estate’s Brut NV is a masterful expression of English sparkling wine, offering finesse, complexity, and vibrant freshness. The nose is lifted and aromatic, with vivid scents of green apple, freshly cut lemon, sourdough, and a whisper of grilled walnuts and dried apricot. On the palate, the mousse is refined and persistent, carrying flavours of apple compote, cold butter, candied citrus peel, and toasted brioche. The wine’s hallmark is its chalky, mineral precision, which frames the generous fruit and leads to a long, refreshing finish. Elegant yet characterful, this cuvée showcases the extraordinary potential of England’s sparkling wines, offering both immediate enjoyment and excellent ageing capacity.
