Fifty One Degrees North Magnum Twenty Sixteen
Pre-release available to members
Our most exclusive vintage wine in Magnum. A pale golden colour in the glass, with fine bubbles. The nose is opulent and expressive, filled with ripe citrus notes alongside stone fruits and patisserie. The palate feels luxurious, layered and complex; the flavours here echo those on the nose, with ripe lemon, lemon peel and apricot. In addition, there's red apple and delicate red fruit notes. As the palate develops it shows more toasted hazelnuts, freshly baked croissant, crème anglais, honey and sweet spices. There is a distinct streak of minerality on the palate and a beautiful citrussy freshness, leading to a long and elegant finish.

An
Exceptional
Vintage
Fifty One Degrees North, our prestige sparkling wine, is the ultimate expression of modern English winemaking. We craft this wine only in the most exceptional vintages.
This complex, age-worthy fine wine comes from a standalone vintage – a year where the fruit was both intense and rich, but also incredibly structured with fine, balanced acidity.
Fifty One Degrees North 2016 is incredibly rewarding now, and will also age beautifully for years to come.
