2020 Blanc de Blancs Leonardslee Family Vineyards

Tasting notes:

Clear fruit aromas display immediately, with bright hints of lime, toasted bread, and hazelnut weaving together a signature of the long, unhurried lees maturation. Creamy and beautifully textured, with explosive acidity that cuts through the richness. The finish is long and elegant, with the minerality of the Wealden sandstone soils unmistakably present.

Producer description:

Leonardslee Family Vineyards is the realisation of a vision held by Penny Streeter OBE, entrepreneur, founder of A24 Group, and the driving force behind one of England's most ambitious estate projects. When Penny acquired Leonardslee, she saw not just a historic landscape but the conditions for world-class sparkling wine. Guided by South African winemaker Johann Fourie and viticulturist Barry Anderson, the estate brings a new precision to the English sparkling wine conversation. Estate grown across 38 acres of vineyard, set within almost 700 acres of gardens, parkland and golf course in West Sussex. In its debut, Leonardslee has drawn attention from Decanter, James Suckling, Jancis Robinson, Oz Clarke, Jamie Goode and Vinous, and earned recognition from World's Best Vineyards in 2025.
