Smith and Evans Higher Plot Sparkling 2015 (6 Bottles) Langport, Somerset, England
£222.00
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.
About Smith & Evans
Guy Smith and Laura Evans planted the Higher Plot vineyard in 2008, after a four-year search for the perfect site to produce high-quality sparkling wine. They tend to the vines year-round, from midwinter pruning to harvest in late summer.
The vineyard’s unique terroir, with its White Lias Limestone Ridge, has long been recognised for its ability to produce early-ripening, high-quality fruit. The site features 300-year-old terracing, originally built for orchards when cider was considered a premium product.
The vineyard’s free-draining, calcareous limestone soil is identical to that found in some of the world’s greatest vineyards. The local climate is also ideal for grape cultivation. Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Meunier vines are planted on the south-facing slopes, with the first harvest taking place in 2010.
The team’s approach to viticulture focuses on balance and harmony with the surrounding environment. And, of course, no vineyard is complete without a loyal canine companion. Meet Bert, the current vineyard dog, a loveable mix of Lab, German Pointer, and other breeds.

First release of our signature premium blend is made from only our finest cuvees with minimal intervention techniques – no fining, no filtration and prolonged barrel maturation in a mixture of old and new oak prior to blending and bottling .
