Walgate Classic Cuvée 2022

Alcohol: 11.54 % vol.
Grape(s): 40% Chardonnay, 40% Pinot Noir, 20% Pinot Meunier

Tasting Note
Dark in colour, well for an English Red at least, ruby with purple hints. Brooding on the nose, richly fruited with a nod to barrels and a good amount of time on the skins. Succulent on the pallet, with round tannin and plenty of length. Great on its own and robust enough to pair with whatever you may care to throw at it. 

Vinification
Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier. Whole bunches were direct pressed to a selection of steel vat and a few oak barrels. Wild ferment and extended ageing on lees before second fermentation in bottle. Aged on lees for 28 months. Disgorgement date 28.11.2025
