Vinification of the Blanc de Blancs Brut from Wiston Estate The grapes for the Blanc de Blancs Brut from Wiston Estate come from the best vineyard sites of the estate on the English south coast. There, the Chardonnay vines benefit from the cool climate and barren chalk soils, which promote the special elegance and minerality of the grapes. Careful pruning and selective handpicking ensure optimal grape quality at harvest. The harvesting is carried out traditionally by hand to gently bring the grapes to the cellar and allow perfect selection. After gentle pressing, the first alcoholic fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperature to preserve the fruity and floral notes. Subsequently, the wine matures for secondary fermentation in the bottle, with the second fermentation creating the fine perlage and typical creaminess. The delicate lees aging lasts at least 24 months, giving the wine its complex brioche character and special depth. Finally, a gentle riddling and disgorging take place before the Blanc de Blancs is bottled as Brut with a discreet dosage that supports freshness without masking the lively fruit.
