Reserve wine is held back in tank to blend with future vintages, in order to smooth variations between individual years and to add richness and complexity to the final bottling. The resulting blend of base wines from multiple years to create a sparkling wine is usually referred to as non-vintage (“NV”) or multi-vintage (“MV”).

During blending this Winter, we were astonished by the quality, richness and complexity of the Chardonnay ‘Reserve’ and after amazing feedback from the rest of the team, we decided to bottle a limited-edition bottling of about 1,100 bottles, consisting of a blend of 11 Greyfriars Chardonnay vintages going back from 2024 to 2014.

This elegant wine displays a gentle straw colour reflecting the extended ageing and use of oak.

The generous nose of cashew nut butter and cooking apples gives way to light toasty notes. The front palate
moves through further cooking apple flavours which develop into notes of white flowers and nectarines,
with a lovely finish of peach melba. The wine boasts a delightful freshness from the well integrated acidity
together with a wonderful roundness.
This great cool climate winter warmer is also incredibly food friendly, particularly as a partner
to roast chicken or scallops and black pudding pan fried in butter.

Each year we hold back a portion of our wine to blend with future vintages and this special bottling is crafted from a ‘Solera’ style blend of Chardonnay from 11 vintages from 2014
through 2024. Each year half the reserve wine was used and topped up with vintage wine, resulting in
a wonderfully complex reserve wine that we have used in both still and sparkling wines over the years.
This wine was aged in both tank and barrel prior to bottling in February 2026.

WHAT THE CRITICS SAY

"Smashing fizz made by the Wagstaffs – we went to the same college at uni. So he must be good. Fresh, lively with a delicious savoury nuttiness."

"This is a superb discovery, and if you have yet to taste it, I insist you make a beeline for a bottle or two because the perfume, lift, weight, and tension components here are assembled with such precision it is extraordinary."
