It is presided over by Harry and Pip Goring and managed by their son Richard who, along with his wife Kirsty, is now in charge of the day to day running of the vineyard and winery. Employing time-honoured methods Wiston produces sparkling wines of exceptional finesse and quality. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe original 16-acre vineyard, planted in 2006, was the fruit of Pip’s dream and tenacity. Today, under winemaker Marcus Rayner-Ward, the tight-knit team spares no effort in the vineyard or winery employing biodynamic principles, respecting nature's cycles and fostering biodiversity. The vineyards lie on a south-facing chalk escarpment and are planted with Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier. The fruit is sourced from the estate’s own vineyards and a selection of long-term partner growers across the south-east of England.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"wiston-estate-brut-nv","title":"Wiston Estate Brut NV","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier grapes for the Wiston Brut Non-Vintage come from the estate’s own vineyards and a selection of long-term partner growers. The estate soils are chalk based and therefore better for Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, while Pinot Meunier prefers a clay soil, so some of this is sourced from clay soils in Kent. Grapes are hand harvested in late autumn and the different varieties are pressed separately as whole bunches. The juice is fermented in stainless steel tanks before being allowed to rest on its lees for eight months, before being bottled the summer following harvest. At bottling, a portion of reserve wines (which date back to 2009) is added to make up 20-30% of the final blend. The wine then undergoes slow secondary fermentation in bottle, and is kept on its lees for three to five years, allowing it to mature and take on flavours and structure through the process of autolysis. After 3 – 5 years ageing on lees the bottles are riddled and disgorged, with a dosage of 8g\/l. The Wiston Estate Brut NV opens with aromas of green apples, freshly cut lemons and sourdough, alongside a hint of grilled walnuts and apricots. On the palate the mousse is fine and textured with complex notes of apple compote, cold butter, candied citrus peel and toasty notes. The finish is refreshing, long and mineral.

Wiston Estate’s 2020 Cuvée is their first vintage release from this memorable year. The world descended into lockdown due to the Covid pandemic, and the UK experienced a near perfect spring - with plenty of sunshine and warm temperatures in April and May. The favourable conditions in Findon Park Vineyard, where the grapes for this wine come from, meant that spring frosts, which hit many other areas of the UK and northern Europe, were avoided. The lack of disease thanks to the favourable conditions allowed the team to leave the fruit hanging on the vines for as long as possible to reach the perfect level of ripeness.
