Meerlust Chardonnay 2018 Very bright, polished platinum with green, vivacious hue. Complex, appealing nose with pear, citrus and floral notes developing into lemon cream, oatmeal and marzipan richness. On the palate the wine is medium bodied and linear but retains generous focused citrus fruit flavours with sleek, balanced and crisp acidity. The wine remains vivacious and fresh on the finish with clean citrus fruit and stony minerality. The wine has a long, very pleasant lingering finish.

A vibrant addition to the Nikka range, Days is a bright blend of malt and grain whiskies from both Nikka's Yoichi and Miyagikyo distilleries. Its medium body hosts an array of floral and zesty flavors, which mingle with vanilla-toffee and a light, distant touch of breezy peat smoke. A fresh and delicate whisky, Days makes a delicious sipping dram or sits beautifully in a refreshing highball.Nose is fresh and fruity, with white flowers, orange blossoms, pear and citrus. Palate is light and smooth. Cereals, malt, toffee, roasted nuts and vanilla. Finish shows dry apricot, malt, vanilla, and a wisp of peat.

Founded in 1823, Fukano Distillery is located in Hitoyoshi City, of the Kumamoto Prefecture of Japan on the island of Kyushu. Hitoyoshi is surrounded by mountains and is known for its pure water and nature. Shigeruriku Fukano is the fifth generation of his family to run the distillery. They use a combination of malted and un-malted rice to make their whisky in a pot still. These releases are very limited in nature and only a few casks are bottled each year.  The Vault Reserve 2 is fuller and more rounded than its #1 release, with a sweeter taste profile and a softer mouthfeel. On the palate expect notes of vanilla, cocoa, brown sugar, and bourbon. Despite this, it's still a fairly bright whiskey, with hints of orange peel. Overall a richness and spice that makes you want to curl up by a fire. Bottled at 40.4% abv.

This rare spirit is aged much like a bourbon in new oak casks. Complex aromatics and texture on the palate are surprising. Vibrant nose of nut brittle, spiced fruit, lemon rind, and almond butter. Subtle ocean quality with supreme drinkability.

This is one of the most important wines that we make at Hattingley, it is the most widely available and arguably one of the most loved. Whilst many people will assume that a ‘vintage’ wine is automatically better (often not the case!), this Non-vintage shows off the skill of Emma’s winemaking. Being able to blend the wines from different grape varieties, different vineyards, barrels and tanks to try and maintain a consistent style is one of the toughest jobs that the winemaking team have to do. This is our all-rounder, our crowd pleaser and a wine that is very easy for all to love! YEAR - Non-Vintage (based on 2015 harvest)GRAPE - Chardonnay 53% Pinot Noir 31% Pinot Meunier 16%ALCOHOL (ABV) - 12%VEGETARIAN/VEGAN - YesSTORAGE RECOMMENDATIONS - Please keep in a cool, dark place if possible.DRINKING WINDOW - Drinking very well now, will improve and mature over the next 3-4 years. June 2020. Awards Harvest The 2015 growing season was a test of good site selection and our vineyard team did a wonderful job in challenging conditions - the summer was cooler than the previous year, particularly in August which is the crucial month for veraison and the start of the ripening season. The pinots were super-ripe with wonderful flavours, good acidity levels and deep colour, and good vineyard sites produced some very fine Chardonnay as well. ‘Blending this wine was the Eureka moment – the whole team recognised the distinct Hattingley style immediately it came together in the glass.’Emma RiceHead Winemaker Winemaking The hand-harvested grapes were whole bunch pressed to extract top quality juice. 19% of the total blend was barrel fermented in old white Burgundy barrels and partial malolactic fermentation took place in order to soften the wine’s natural acidity. To ensure the consistency and continuity of our signature style, 23% of reserve wines (that had naturally softened and developed over time in oak barrels and stainless steel tanks) were added to the blend before secondary fermentation. After 3 years ageing on lees in a bottle to add roundness and character, the wine was disgorged with a light dosage of 7 g/L. Tasting Notes Our Classic Reserve is pale gold in colour with delicate and fine long-lasting bubbles. The beautifully complex bouquet combines aromas of green apples with creamy nougat, freshly baked brioche and delicate toasted notes from ageing in bottle. On the palate, the complexity continues with notes of soft lemon sherbet, biscuit and a subtle oak character. Refreshing and perfectly balanced, with a delightfully long finish.
