Smith and Evans LD 2010 (6 Bottles) Langport, Somerset, England
UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED
Our first vintage in 2010 feels like yesterday and like a different world altogether. The nerves and anxiety of years of work and planning all coming down to a single day. Thirty or so virtual strangers turned up to pick coralled by our friend Celia Kozlowski. Little did we know that some of them would still be harvesting with us to this day!
We sold the vast majority of the wine years ago but we kept a few bottles on lees for 13 years. We always keep a some in the cellars for family occasions and have decided to put 50 out into the world for people that are interested in seeeing how this gem has developed. The LD stands for Late Disgorged - doing it this way preserves the freshness of the wine and indeed, these bottles are remarkable. They resemble a blanc de blancs in terms of its taste profile which is fresh and full of minerality with distinctive grapefruit citrus aromas that I can't say that we remember from it's first incarnation. It's a beautiful delicate wine that is testament to the quality of those young vines at Higher Plot.
Smith and Evans Higher Plot Sparkling 2015 (6 Bottles) Langport, Somerset, England
UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED
This is quite possibly the best sparkling wine that we’ve made so far. The 2015 combines the richness of our 2013 and the crisp fresh side of 2014 a balance that gives the best of both worlds. The wine is pretty much equal quantities of Chardonnay , Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier with 15% Reserve Wine from previous vintages going right back to 2010 .
It was disgorged in late 2019 after four years on the lees. It still has plenty of room for development and will continue to improve for five or more years.
Greyfriars Vineyard Classic Cuvée 2015 (6 Bottles) Puttenham, Surrey, England
UK MAINLAND DELIVERY INCLUDED
Our elegant, dry and complex 2015 Sparkling Classic Cuvée benefitted from a dry summer and warm September, helping to ripen the traditional Champagne varieties used in this blend.
The tension and ripe citrus fruits of this dry sparkling wine works particularly well with Thai inspired recipes. The roundness and subtle mouthfeel of the wine is a treat to match with noble fish and seafood such as gurnard, bass or scallops.
