Why Cave selected it

Single-site Dorset sparkler made with low-intervention methods; Pinot-dominant blend and very low dosage deliver clarity, texture and food-friendly depth at a fair price.

About the wine

All fruit for this wine was sourced from their single site in rural Dorset. The grapes for the base vintage were picked in October 2020 and gently pressed in whole bunches. Primary fermentation, with indigenous yeasts, took place in a combination of stainless-steel tanks and used oak barrels, followed by complete malolactic fermentation. Following 7 months of élevage, the final blend was bottled and left to age on lees for a minimum of 14 months. Rich yet fresh this is top stuff

About Langham Wine Estate

All Langham Estate wines are made using grapes grown at their single site in rural Dorset. The Crawthorne vineyard consists of 12 hectares planted solely with the classic Champagne varieties – Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier. The site was carefully selected for its south facing slope and free-draining chalk subsoil. A long growing season and considerate viticulture ensures we harvest the finest grapes possible. They are constantly working towards reducing chemical intervention in the vineyard, employing diligent canopy management executed at specific times. By increasing air flow through the canopy and promoting biological control organisms, the effects of disease are kept to a minimum. All grapes are handpicked, and rigorous vineyard selection ensures only the highest quality grapes arrive at the winery.
