\"Smith<\/p>\n

Always good to see a new English sparkling wine that’s of top quality. I was really impressed by this. It’s the first crop from a vineyard in Somerset, planted in 2008 by Guy and Laura (the Smith & Evans behind the wine) and you can find out more about it on the Smith & Evans website<\/a>. This was disgorged in March.<\/p>\n

Smith & Evans Higher Plot Pinot Chardonnay Brut 2010 Somerset, England<\/strong>
\nFrom limestone soils, this is a blend of Chardonnay and the two Pinots, aged on lees for 2.5 years, 11.5% alcohol, 4 g\/litre dosage. Lovely ripe, nicely poised nose of ripe pear and citrus fruit with subtle toastiness. Taut palate with ripe apples and pears, keen lemony acidity and hints of toast. Elegant and refined with lovely purity of fruit. Quite dry but not at all austere, with great potential for development. 91\/100<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
