In the glass
Aroma: nectarine, honey, brioche
The signature vintage wine of Wiston Estate, a classic blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier from Findon Park. Filigree texture, nectarine and honey over brioche, and the ageing potential the estate builds its reputation on.
What it pairs with
-
Roast turbot
The wine has enough texture and length for a meaty white fish. -
Chicken and morels in cream
Brioche and honey wrap around a creamy sauce; acidity keeps it from cloying. -
Comte style aged cheese
Nutty crystals in the cheese meet the wine's autolytic depth.
