James Lawrence in Calibre "An exceptional terroir for sparkling wine production. A hedonistic blend of 60% Chardonnay, 30% Pinot Noir, and 10% Pinot Meunier"

"Oriana 2019, The Weyborne. Situated at the highest point in the South Downs in Sussex, this up-and-coming estate was first planted by Nick Clark in 2007 — an exceptional terroir for sparkling wine production. A hedonistic blend of 60% Chardonnay, 30% Pinot Noir, and 10% Pinot Meunier, this super-concentrated fizz uses oak-aged wines to up the ante in terms of richness and puppy fat. It almost reminds one of Krug, albeit this is a considerably better value proposition!"
