Classic Cuvée (2021)

Description

Introducing our brand-new 2021 Classic Cuvée….

This signature vintage wine is our classic blend of 50% Pinot Noir, 35% Chardonnay and 15% Pinot Meunier aged for a minimum of 24 months on its’ yeast lees. This wine presents aromas of red fruits, buttery brioche and almonds on the nose perfectly balanced with juicy nectarine, baked apples, and our signature flint minerality on the finish.

This food friendly wine would be a perfect partner to smoked fish, roast chicken or creamy risotto dishes.

The Classic Cuvée is our signature style and the one which has accrued the most number of awards for us over the years and what we consider to consistently showcase the Saffron Grange style; fruit-forward, clean with a hint of brioche, great minerality and lovely acidity; a sparkling wine with finesse!

Available by the bottle or 6 bottle case.

2021 Vintage

The peak in temperature at the end of the summer in 2021 benefited the vintage after a cooler start to the season and the vines went onto enjoy a dry and sunny October. Due to our dry climate, we were able to allow our grapes to hang for longer and benefit from the later sunshine and it was by far the latest harvest we have had with us picking as late as Guy Fawkes Night. We are delighted with the results of this particular vintage and the 2021 Seyval Blanc Reserve and the 2021 Sparkling Rosé have both been going down a storm with you all so far.
