2019 Hundred Hills, Blanc des Noirs

Hundred Hills crafts vintage English sparkling wines from their boutique winery and vineyards in Oxfordshire’s Stonor Valley. Using only the finest grapes from their own low-yielding Pinot Noir and Chardonnay vines, they control quality meticulously from planting to corking. Their chalk valley vineyards allow grapes to ripen slowly over more than the magical hundred days, producing wines of clarity and precision that capture a true sense of time and place, much like the great Burgundies. Minimal intervention in the winery ensures each vintage expresses the vineyard’s character to the fullest.

This inaugural Blanc de Noirs comes from a single south-facing parcel of Pinot Noir, harvested late in the long, dry 2019 season after over 110 days on the vine.
