Mountfield Winery has achieved a landmark success in Decanter magazine’s latest UK sparkling wine tasting. Its Blanc de Blancs Brut was awarded a spectacular 96-point “Outstanding” rating, placing it at the very top tier of homegrown sparkling wine.
Crafted from 95% of the 2016 vintage and a splash of oak-aged 2015 reserve wine, this exceptional cuvée spent an extraordinary ten years maturing on its lees before release.
The Judges’ Verdict:
-
“Stopped me in my tracks” – Lead judge Susie Barrie MW (who scored it 97) praised its highly characterful personality, expressive honeyed biscuit aromatics, and deep layers of flavour.
-
“Complex and structured” – Dror Nativ MW and Matt Hodgson highlighted the wine’s sophisticated notes of buttercream, roasted hazelnut, and tangy green apple.
