Howard Park Petit Jeté Blanc de Blancs NV

A 100% Chardonnay sparkling built on brisk acidity and offering plenty of bright, tangy fruit, which is no doubt the basis for the continuing rise and rise of the Blanc de Blancs market. It’s delivered in spades here. Generous in Chardonnay aromas of citrus and apple, florals of honeysuckle and chamomile, nut and baked quince. The palate lights up, fresh and bright, with a gradual building of citrus and grapefruit intensity and a nutty, flinty savouriness creeping in with brioche notes. Fine, balanced finish.
