Leconfield Blanc de Blancs NV

Displaying its cool-climate pedigree from the very first pour, this sparkling wine opens with lifted aromas of crisp green apple, gradually revealing delicate layers of grapefruit and ripe nectarine. Its vibrant character pairs beautifully with a selection of Chinese finger foods, including Shanghai pork dumplings, pork and shrimp dumplings, and vegetable dumplings. The zesty acidity and creamy texture harmonise effortlessly with the soft, delicate dumpling skins, complementing the subtle spice and rich umami flavours of the fillings. Complexity builds across the palate, with notes of toast, brioche, and baked apple adding depth and intrigue. These layers are supported by refined dryness, a core of bright acidity, and savoury undertones on the finish. A pristine, long-lasting finale driven by lemony freshness provides precision and lift. This youthful bottling is drinking beautifully, showcasing a fine, persistent bead and remarkable vibrancy throughout.
