Until 2019, Castlewood vintage wines were always Cuvées of Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunière and Chardonnay. Stylistically Chardonnay benefits from age and for this wine, particularly in oak barrels.

The juice from the first press is cold settled then fermented in oak in our cool cellar temperatures, it is then allowed to develop for a further two winters in barrel, prior undergoing secondary fermentation in bottle for a minimum of 24 months. Like all Castlewood sparkling wines, the Blanc de Blancs undergoes no fining or filtration and is bottled under gravity.
