A truly delicious organic sparkling wine from one of the country’s leading organic wine producers, Will Davenport. The vineyard has been certified with the Soil Association since 2000..

The Limney Estate 2014 is a blend of Chardonnay (50%), Pinot Noir (26%) and Meunier (24%). The wine undergoes a long ageing on the lees before released and so has a terrific autolytic depth and is a rich, dry flavoursome wine. There is complexity and texture, length and balance in this characterful wine.

A little information: One of the major factors in determining the quality and style of a traditional method sparkling wine is the length of time on the lees. Many wines are made with 18 months in contact with the lees, in Champagne the minimum is 15 months, in order to allow the break down of yeast cells and the development of flavours derived from yeast. This development of yeast characters is known as autolysis. High quality, traditional fizz will usually undergo a long period, at least 24 to 30 months on the lees. 

Increasing the top English sparkling wines have extended periods on the yeast. The Limney Estate wine has five years on the lees and Will believes that this allows for a richer autolytic character and also a better integration of the acidity and development of fruit.
