Brims with bramely apple and lemon fruits with a bready edge and fine reviving bubbles.

The Westwell Pelegrim Sparkling Wine has a rich, biscuit nose and plenty of autolytic notes which promise a savoury complex palate. In the mouth the wine certainly delivers layered flavours, both apple fruit and savoury nut and bread characters. It is dry, gently foaming and has mineral depth. It drinks well now but has the concentration to reward cellaring for two to three years.

The Westwell vineyard is based on the gentle chalk slopes of the scarp face of the Downs, which receive increased insolation and reduced frost risk compared to the generally flatter lands of the Weald so the fruit is usually that little bit riper. The top layer of the chalk soils contain plenty of flint which helps with drainage and makes it a bit warmer than the nearby clay rich soils of the Weald.

Food Pairing Ideas: Perfect with salmon and chicken and great for an aperitif.
