"Weyborne Estate Oriana 2019, England

A new star among classic-method English wines. The first commercial vintage from this West Sussex estate was a tad too dry for me. This, their second, is outstanding, with a very low dosage (2g/l ) perfectly judged for the glorious peach and lemon fruit, lanolin texture, toasted nut, vanilla and panettone notes and balancing acidity. Great length and elegance from a blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier (60:30:10) aged on lees for 35 months. 12%
