Meadowbank Blanc de Noirs 2021 from Derwent Valley arrives with cool‑climate finesse, the 2021 release from Meadowbank showing careful whole‑cluster handling and precise lees ageing; Meadowbank Blanc de Noirs 2021 declares itself as a poised, terroir‑led sparkling that is immediate, refined and unquestionably purchase‑worthy.

This is a versatile celebratory bottle for prawns, smoked trout or charcuterie at a bright brunch or intimate dinner; its fine bead and savoury lift make it an easy buy for entertaining, gifting or quietly elevating a weeknight meal, a wine that insists on being in your cart.

Raspberry, red apple and wild strawberry sit over brioche, wet stone and a saline thread, taut acidity, creamy mid‑palate and a persistent, savoury finish; the palate is crisp, textured and long, inviting another generous glass.
