Brimming with the warmth and richness of southern Sicily, this full-bodied red is a bold yet elegant expression of the island’s character. Deep, inviting aromas of cassis, and a touch of vanilla rise from the glass, layered with subtle hints of wood smoke. The palate is generous and fruit-driven, unfolding into dark cherries and ripe berries, with a long, velvety finish.

Black Chalk Inversion Sparkling Blanc de Noirs 2020 (6 Bottles) Andover, Hampshire, England

£390.00
by Wines by Cellars

UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED

Inversion 2020 is a limited-edition Blanc de Noir, with only 1,939 bottles produced. Crafted from 83% Pinot Noir and 17% Pinot Meunier, this wine showcases the best of the Upper Levels vineyard, where the unique terroir lends complexity and depth to the blend. Dominated by the robust Pinot Noir 777 clone (67% of the blend), it is complemented by clones 386, 521, and 817, each contributing to its layered profile.

The wine’s character is shaped by a careful balance of 97% stainless steel aging and 3% maturation in 5-year-old Burgundian barrels, enhancing its finesse. Burgundy yeast Spark amplifies the aromatics, while a non-interventionist approach—eschewing malolactic fermentation and fining—ensures the wine expresses its true varietal essence.

On the nose, Inversion bursts with vibrant red fruit aromas, underpinned by subtle hints of spice and earthiness. The palate delivers a powerful and expressive profile, brimming with red berries, yet refined with a distinctive “grown-up” edge. A backbone of vibrant acidity cleanses the palate, creating a clean and satisfying finish.

This is a wine of elegance and precision, designed to celebrate the potential of Pinot Noir in the UK, particularly the expressive and bold nature of the PN 777 clone.

“Inversion is all about highlighting the power of the PN 777 clone—it’s got a real grown-up edge to it.”
— Jacob Leadley, Owner & Winemaker
