Sussex Sparkling

Grapes were hand-harvested in the cool of the morning. They were then whole-bunch pressed into part stainless steel and French oak barrels (20%) for fermentation. 65% of the
base wines was allowed to go through malolactic fermentation achieve the desired level acidity and balance.

Only wine made from the free run juice together with 6% reserve wine from previous vintages was used in the final blend to create the signature Leonardslee house style. The
final blend was bottled where it then underwent, according to the traditional method, second fermentation in bottle. This is followed by bottle maturation of approximately 36 months.

Tasting Notes

This vibrant yet elegant wine captivates with aromas of red apple, almonds, toffee and subtle toastiness. Fine mousse enlivens the palate, unveiling layers of brioche, yeastiness,
cherry, and raspberry. Bright, refreshing acidity is beautifully balanced by remarkable length, precision, and persistence. 

Dry in finish, with immaculate poise and focus, it reflects classic English finesse. Absolutely delicious and versatile, this sparkling wine offers refinement with a n expressive character.
