GMF Yew Tree Vineyard Seyval Blanc Sparkling Wine

100% Seyval Blanc. Such fun! Lively, bright. Tropical fruit with a cut-glass English accent, as crazy as finding a tangle of passion-fruit vine through an elderflower and hawthorn hedgerow. Soft, full-mouth mousse. A wine that makes you laugh out loud! Just a little zany, a little funky, a little cloudy – but more serious than it looks. Quite some staying power – it opened up, developed more and more length, chalkiness, texture. Perfect wine to have with cicchetti while you watch the world go by. Seyval Blanc from Oxfordshire, grown on flat greensand soils, hand-picked and hand-sorted. A ‘col fondo’ style sparkling wine. Whole-bunch pressed into a 50/50 mix of stainless-steel tanks and old burgundy barrels for fermentation and six months on lees, then bottled for secondary fermentation in bottle. No added yeast, undisgorged, zero added sulphites, zero dosage, 5-bar pressure, not filtered. ABV 11.5%
