Delamere Blanc de Blancs 2018

Sourced from the oldest blocks of Chardonnay planted at Delamere, it brings an air of complexity and elegance that raises it above the sparkling pack. With bass notes in almond bread, baked quince and striking honeyed gingerbread notes, it strikes out in flavours that combine the honeysuckle and citrus blossom floral with grapefruit, lemon and quince. Autolysis is definitely a part of the layers, subtle and a little savoury, with notes of rockpool and oyster shell. Acidity, as always, remains alive and super fresh as it reaches its eighth year.
