Primordia 2014

Blackdown Ridge Estate creates fine still and sparkling English wines from grapes grown on their beautiful south-facing slopes, at the highest point in the Sussex Weald.

A classic blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier made using the traditional method. The wine has a persistent lively perlage and characteristic aroma.  Lively, fine bubbles help to distribute this wine’s wonderful aromatics; lemon zest and fruity apricot notes with orchard fruit and hints of sweet pastry. On the palate is a really lively citrus quality – it’s more lemon sherbet than lemon zest, prompting a lovely tingling sensation. Richer fruity flavours continue on the mid taste – ripe apricot with juicy apple and pear. A fine mousse with those deliciously rounded fruit flavours make this a really enjoyable and smooth drinking sparkling wine, whilst that persistent sherbet lemon quality keeps it refreshing and light.

A warm and dry September meant that the 2014 vintage was one to remember! The fruit was picked and fermented individually with fermentation being carried out in stainless steel tanks using Champagne yeast strains. After malolactic fermentation the three varietals were blended to create a wine with balance and finesse. The wine was disgorged and released after 14 months on the lees.
