Fox & Fox Mosaic Brut is a fine English sparkling wine from award-winning Sussex boutique, Fox & Fox. Pinot Noir, Chardonnay & 18 months on lees give a toasty, citrus & white peach style.

Fox & Fox is a multi-award winning boutique grower-producer of English sparkling wines, cultivating 30 acres of classic varieties. Their vineyards sit either side of the ancient hilltop village of Mayfield, amongst the rolling hills, woodlands and deep-cut ghylls of the Sussex High Weald. Jonica and Gerard Fox have been growing vines since 2004 and producing wine since 2009.

The climate here is similar to Champagne, allowing for a long, even ripening season. The two vineyards lie on a combination of ancient clay, shale and sandstone. Here Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, Chardonnay and Pinot Gris are grown from medium-yielding Burgundy clones, trained on a double-Guyot trellising system. The vineyard is worked rigorously by hand with great attention paid to minimising spraying and maximising canopy management and vine nutrition.

This wine is a blend from both vineyards. Grapes are whole-bunch pressed then the wines made according the the traditional method with a second fermentation in bottle before a minimum of 18 months' ageing on lees

Grape Varieties: 50% Chardonnay, 50% Pinot Noir.

Tasting Note: A soft, forward satiny style with gentle hawthorn, citrus white peach and freshly baked bread notes. Fine balanced acidity and lovely sherbet mousse. A lovely, approachable sparkling of great appeal.
