CLASSIC CUVÉE 2015

Warm gold in colour.

White flowers, English orchard apple, quince, wild lemon and grapefruit. Tropical notes of honeydew melon and lychee. Baking croissant, warm pastry and shortbread.

Dry, smooth and well rounded, with a gentle, refreshing, well balanced acidity and a fine, soft mousse.

Lengthy, smooth, slightly creamy finish.

Matthew Jukes, Wine Expert - "It shows stunning balance, ample flesh, and more volume of fruit than anyone thought possible...All Angels deserves to be a household name...The wines are exemplary..."

Great British Wine "October 2022 Wine of the Month" - John Mobbs, Founder

"This wine revels in its longer than usual lees age whilst combining all that development and richness with brisk acidity and wonderfully precise fruit flavours. It’s the most accomplished release from the increasingly promising Berkshire producer to date...It’s hugely successful at standing out from an increasingly ‘young’ crowd of English Classic Cuvées.

The golden colour of the wine sets the stage for indulgence, and the nose doesn’t disappoint with its fusion of citrus zest, English orchard fruit and peach skin. To taste, the racy freshness of the 2015 vintage commands attention. There are crunchy apples and zippy lemon with bursting acidity, but that’s paired with an opulent softness as well as ripe, peachy stone fruit flavours."

NOTES FROM THE VINEYARD

2015 was one of the more challenging growing years with some hard frosts causing damage after an unusually early bud burst, a wet June and a cold and wet August. This led to a late harvest and the Chardonnay was not picked until November. During winemaking 100% of the wine went through malolactic conversion resulting in a smooth, slightly creamy finish.
