2018 Hush Heath Estate, Balfour Blanc de Noirs
£37.00
“The 2018 vintage is the estate’s first Blanc de Noirs, made with 75% Pinot Noir and 25% Pinot Meunier sourced from a soil of clay and Kentish ragstone. Freshly sliced bread opens up to banana peel, ripe yellow pears and scented blackcurrant. Linear and crisp on the palate, with yeasty green apple, citrus fruit and an undertone of honeyed tangerine peel and brioche. The wine hasn’t been through malolactic fermentation, preserving its vibrant acidity at 8.3g/l, which is balanced by dosage at 12 g/l.”

Product Description
Made from the superb 2018 vintage, Balfour Blanc de Noirs is a blend of Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier. A wine of yin and yang, the traditional ripe Blanc de Noir flavours of red apple and blackcurrant combine with linear, tangerine citrus, and oyster shell. This is a characteristically Balfour wine with wonderful tension, vibrancy and complexity.
