Growing Conditions
Jancis Robinson says of 2014 - 'A dream year for UK vineyards with little frost, very good flowering weather, a cool wet August, but warm September and October.' We agree. This is one of the best wines we have made.
Nose
Elegant, expressive and finely chiselled lemon and apple notes, with warm, bready brioche aromas
Palate
Resonant and assertive, the 2014 retains the signature Hart of Gold mouth-watering zing that gives way to complex flavours combining refreshing citrus fruit and savoury, bready richness. Excellent length.
Appearance
A lovely pale gold in colour, with a persistent stream of fine bubbles.
Food Pairing
The perfect aperitif which is also delicious with lightly smoked fish, and all sorts of salads. Or salted nuts and olives.
Aging
This wine has spent nearly six years in the bottle in contact with the lees before disgorgement in March 2020.
Harvest
Beautiful grapes in perfect condition were harvested in early October, and brought down to Ridgeview for whole bunch pressing and fermentation, Each grape variety is harvested separately.
