| Colour | White |
| Origin | United Kingdom, England |
| Classification | English Sparkling Wine |

Kirsty’s Blanc de Blancs was made from the best of the 2014 vintage Chardonnay. It was fermented and aged for 6 months in two 400 Litre François Frères Burgundy barrels before secondary fermentation in bottle and a further 7 years maturing on lees. The wine shows honeysuckle and brioche notes on the nose with citrus, hazelnut and exotic and dried fruits on the palate. A fine persistent mousse and long finish. This is supremely balanced and elegant wine of great finesse. L&S (Aug 2023)

Herbert Hall
At the end of the 19th Century, Herbert Hall arrived in the village of Marden in Kent. He became a tenant farmer on a ten-acre sunny, gently sloping site to the west of the village.
Herbert Hall was a colourful character and a great horticulturalist. He grew hops, apples, pears, and plums and his little farm came to embody the original spirit of The Garden of England. Herbert went on to build a farm that has remained in the Hall family for three generations.
In 2007 his great-grandson, the winemaker Nick Hall, chose Herbert’s original site to plant a vineyard with Chardonnay (40%), Pinot Noir (30%), and Pinot Meunier (30%). Herbert always said it was the best piece of land he had ever farmed and this sheltered sunny organic site, continues to produce superb fruit.
Winemaker Kirsty Smith joined in 2014 to help produce these handmade, traditional-method English Sparkling Wines. The grapes undergo primary fermentation in stainless steel tanks with 10% of the blend fermented in oak barrels.
