Stanlake Park Wine Estate, Stanlake Brut, Berkshire, England, NV

Tasting: UK Sparkling

Complex but slightly oxidative character on the nose. Doesn’t seem entirely fresh. Lacks the definition and length of the best examples.

Tasting: UK Sparkling

Lemony yellow. Complex and serious nose, with a hint of reductive lees handling.. The palate is flavourful, with a predominance of lees flavours over quite delicate fruit.

Tasting: UK Sparkling

Quite elegant and structured, but slightly lacks the weight and persistence to carry it right through to the finish. Short on the end. Clean and well made.
