The 2017 Hattingley Valley Kings Cuvée is the flagship multi-vintage blend, representing the pinnacle of this esteemed English sparkling wine producer's artistry. It typically blends Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier from the finest parcels, with a portion of reserve wines for added complexity. The 2017 base vintage was excellent. Expect a captivating bouquet of red apple, citrus peel, and toasted nuts, interwoven with hints of red berry and a subtle yeasty richness. On the palate, it is beautifully balanced and poised, with a fine, persistent mousse and a vibrant acidity. Flavours of stone fruit, brioche, and a touch of red fruit persist through a long, elegant finish. A sophisticated and vibrant English sparkling wine, perfect for celebrating or enjoying over the next 5-7 years.
