Description
Pelegrim means Pilgrim in middle English (circa 12th century) and recognises the history of our forbears who walked the Pilgrim’s Way above our vineyard for centuries on their final leg to Canterbury.
Pelegrim NV is a traditional bottle-fermented sparkling wine that is made from Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay with reserve wines from previous vintages to give further complexity and a consistent extra dry non-vintage style. The wines are lees-aged in bottle for 36 months to give depth and biscuity aromas which only bottle-fermentation can deliver. Rich, toasty citrus, a little honeyed. Marked autolytic character on the nose and palate. A little sweet-sour in the balance between acidity and rounding-out sweetness but rich and toasty with persistent mousse. Great value for a full-flavoured English sparkling wine.
