Just released, this first edition is absolutely gorgeous. Being fuller, more golden in colour and flavour, with notes of malt, and baked apple pie, buttery pastry, with layers of fruit and complexity, with some delicious oxidative notes, with a fine core of acidity, it is rather different from the other English fizzes we know, which are crisper. Although this is still completely dry. At just over 4g\/l dosage, that puts it in the extra brut category (if Champagne) and make it drier that most English sparklings.

A more intense nose than their signature Chardonnay, with a little hint of the new oak. Lemon curd, dried hay, baked honeyed oats, and toffee nut crisp, leading to a palate with an extraordinarily seamless, silken texture, and a quiet and persisting energy and poise. Nougat and a little honeysuckle, creamy and lush. Fermented in old Burgundian Oak and 18 months aging on the lees, the Octagon Chardonnay really is perfectly balanced. Power, focus and precision, this is a world beating Chardonnay.

It's got a hint of salinity on the nose, or a minerality, mixed in with it's exciting depth of Chardonnay aromas. The quality here is remarkable - piercing bright, and unlike anything else we've tasted from England. Beautiful Montrachet style. \u003cspan\u003eLick of vanilla and stones on the nose, with lime and spice, and lovely oak, from the 10 months in barrel. There's such intensity to the nose that leads to a broad and dense palate - hawthorn blossom, honey and toast, with a sherbet-y edge keeping it all in check. There's a little warmth too- even a hint of tropical fruit, with real grip to the palate and good volume. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e#Tasting#\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLocated in the warmest, driest area of the UK, the first vineyards were planted at Danbury Ridge in 2014, and 2018 was their debut vintage.
