Crafted from a refined blend of 70% Chardonnay, 20% Pinot Noir, and 10% Pinot Meunier, the 2021 Brut Reserve is a vibrant reflection of our vineyard’s unique chalky soils and cool-climate conditions.
Awarded an impressive 94 points at the International Wine Challenge 2025, this vintage is praised for its “yellow citrus notes with a balanced, yet delicate wet stone minerality complemented by attractive creamy hints.” It’s a wine that speaks of precision and purity, ideal for celebrations or quiet moments of indulgence.
Leonardslee Brut Rosé, 2021
Our 2021 Brut Rosé is not your average English pink fizz. A delicate, pale rosé with a distinctive character, it blends 56% Chardonnay, 31% Pinot Noir, 3% Pinot Meunier, and a unique 10% Pinotage, a nod to our South African heritage and a rare find in English sparkling wines.
Scoring 90 points at the International Wine Challenge 2025, the judges described it as: “Bright and fresh, light autolysis worked well, great energy with great citrus and good typicity.” It’s a wine that offers both elegance and intrigue, perfect for alfresco dining or a summer celebration.

With 90 points awarded by the International Wine and Spirits Competition 2025, it was praised for its “bright lemon attraction on nose and palate with a hint of cream. Great balance between freshness and fruit. Satisfying finish.”
