Simpsons Flint Fields Blanc de Noirs 2018 Kent

100% Pinot Noir

Grapes from Pinot Noir Clone 115 were hand-picked over a five day period. They use this particular clone to create a more full-bodied style owing to a slight accentuation of tannins, developing into a more luxurious mouth-feel.

The base wine underwent malolactic fermentation and spent three months in tank ageing on light lees. After a series of tastings, the wine was blended, filtered and bottled to obtain the ‘prise de mousse’. Following the bottle fermentation, the wine spent twenty-seven months ageing on yeast lees prior to disgorgement, followed by four months ageing under cork, prior to release in November 2021.
