Situated just east of Stonehenge in Wiltshire, Bluestone is a family farm specialising in rare breeds, where brothers Nat and Toby McConnell planted 4ha of vines in 2016. Winemaking is in collaboration with Hambledon chief winemaker Hervé Jestin, and this wine is among Bluestone’s first releases. A blend of 60.5% Pinot Noir, 37% Chardonnay and 2.5% Meunier, it’s made with full malolactic conversion and, with a small proportion of wine fermented in barrel, it was aged on lees for a minimum of 33 months. Susie Barrie MW: Rich, ripe plum and dark berry fruit. Bold and fruity. Quite a specific style but a well-executed example of its type. Simon Field MW: Gentle mousse with delicious red berry fruit. Pure, with a hint of caramel, soft spice and a nice, tapered finish. Long. Rebecca Palmer: Ripe cherry, brightness, almond. Fruity and appealing. This is a powerful wine that possesses some autolytic depth.
