Gorgeous mouth-filling mouse with apple compote, apricot jam, honeyed toast and icing sugar dusted pastries. Bang for buck in the world of English sparkling, the Wiston Brut NV wins every time. The palate darts between fruit, toasty notes and nuts and the finish is very long and quivering with energy. The current release is based on their superb 2017 vintage (a troublesome year for many other producers,) with reserve wines dating back to 2008. Made like high quality Champagne, unhurried and with great love and care - aged for 3 years sur lattes pre release.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e#Tasting#\u003c\/p\u003e\nWith its Blanc de Noirs 2010 being named Supreme Champion at the inaugural Wine GB Awards, and its Cuvée 2013 being named the UK’s Best Sparkling Wine in the Decanter World Wine Awards 2017, AND winning the English Sparkling Wine Trophy in the International Wines and Spirits Challenge 2017, life is good for Wiston Estate. It’s a testament to the combined efforts and expertise of estate managers Richard and Kirsty Goring, and winemaker Dermot Sugrue, and confirms Wiston as a genuine trailblazer of quality English sparkling wine. Taking inspiration from his previous work in Champagne, Dermot prefers to use old Jacques Prieur Burgundy barrels for fermentation and ageing of Wiston’s vintage wines and his approach to winemaking is all about patience – as such Wiston sparkling wines will only ever be released once they have reached pitch-perfect readiness.

The fruit is sourced from Yarra, and the winemaking is as sensitive, precise, assured as befits Tom's name. The real beauty of Distant Noises though? It's the price! Tom has set himself the challenge of making premium Mornington Peninsula wine at a price that you rarely see for wines from this region. Why, in this venal old world, would he do that? Because he wants to. He's achieved pretty much everything else there is to achieve in wine. He's reached the summit several times over. Distant Noises is his chance to do that rare thing of making a cracking wine that is accessible to many, that gives as many people as possible the pleasure of the wines he makes. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"DISTANT NOISES","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":37559947329721,"sku":"AYABBYLAKR19B03","price":16.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2466\/1541\/products\/DistantNoisesCabernetSauvignon.jpg?v=1758880668"},{"product_id":"st-romain-combe-bazin-domaine-buisson-2020","title":"St Romain 'Combe Bazin' Domaine Buisson 2020","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIt has a beautiful nose that could satisfy you on it’s on own!
