An exceptional vintage sparkling wine, Chapel Down Grand Reserve 2014 is a blend of the three great sparkling wine grapes, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier. A warm, dry spring followed by excellent summer weather and a long ripening period made this a stunning English vintage. This special release, from the 2014 vintage, is complex and elegant, with apple, rhubarb and almond on the nose. On the palate there’s apple tarte tartin and brioche, leading to a rich yet fresh finish.

To ensure consistent top quality fruit for this wine, we source from a collection of vineyards in Kent, Sussex and Essex. Grapes are grown predominantly on single and double guyot pruning systems, on varied soils including, chalk, clay and loam soils to best benefit the grape varietals grown.
The tradition sparkling method used by producers across the globe, starts with wine grapes (both white and red) fermented separately before being mixed together into a special cuvee blend. A small amount of yeast, sugar and wine is added to start the secondary fermentation. This fermentation traps carbon dioxide in the bottle. Bottles are then slowly rotated over time to settle the dead yeast in the neck of the bottle. Finally the dead yeast particles are removed, with the wine mixture topped up with the 'dosage'.
