Viticulture
Harvest is the pinnacle of the grapegrowing year at Hattingley Valley. The vineyard team decides when the grapes are perfectly ripe to pick and then gets to work. Each bunch is carefully picked by hand to avoid any damage to the grapes. The hours are long and days endless, but it brings everyone together and is just the start of the wine making journey.
Vinification
Hattingley Valley crafts their sparkling wines using traditional methods. With gentle pressing and oak fermentation, their Chardonnay offers a clean, creamy texture. Aged for 5 years on lees, it's disgorged in March 2020 with 6 g/L sugar.
Food Match
Delicious with Hampshire hot smoked trout pate, local salami and charcuterie
