Hoffman & Rathbone Blanc de Noirs 2015
An English stunner to rival some of the world’s best bubbly. The aromas offer instant complexity, richness and allure from vanilla pastries to subtle smoke and almond and even a hint of grape candy. Utterly mesmerising.
When you sip it, this wine’s lavishness offers a thrilling contrast to the delicate bubbly texture, from deep umami moreishness to a hint of lemon and ripe peachiness, all framed with the purity of mighty minerally freshness. Paired with green olives, this fizz will take you to Scrumptiousness Central.
A wine of impact, presence and vibrancy that’s local to me and spot on for celebrating English Wine Week.
