Laithwaites Theale Vineyard Blanc de Blancs 2007

With its sprightly mix of ripe orchard fruit and zesty, tart peach to finish, alongside a lick of citrus twang, Laithwaites have fashioned a lively sparkler form its weeny vineyard outside its HQ in Theale.

Fruit is harvested and delivered to Mike Rogers at RidgeView, who performs the bubble-making alchemy, generating this little gem. Only 150 6-bottle cases were produced, so one to cherish.
