Winery Artelium
The Winery Artelium is a craft English producer in the heart of the Sussex landscape. Founded by Julie Bretland and Mark Collins, Artelium combines wine, contemporary art, and hospitality. With a special focus on sparkling wines and still wines from Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier, elegant, terroir-driven wines are created here that reflect the uniqueness of Sussex.
Tasting Notes
The Blanc de Blancs from the Winery Artelium is made exclusively from Chardonnay. On the nose, it shows fine aromas of citrus fruits, green apple, and delicate white blossoms. On the palate, it is precise and elegant, with creamy bubbles and a long, mineral finish.
Grape Variety
Chenin Blanc is a widely cultivated, old white wine grape variety that has been grown in France (in Anjou – Touraine) since the 9th century. Compared to other white wine grape varieties, this variety is very productive. This leads to a very high quality of the white wine when reduced on the vine.
In South Africa, Chenin Blanc is the most widely grown white wine grape variety. The reason for this is primarily the very high diversity. For example, there are "wild-growing" vines (so-called Bush Vines) that are usually not irrigated. For this reason, the vines penetrate very deep into the ground with their roots to reach water. These Chenin Blancs therefore have a stronger depth and complexity.
The grape variety can also be aged very fresh and fruity in stainless steel tanks, developing into a very nice summer wine. Through the Aged in oak barrels, one obtains very complex and full-bodied white wines. The aromas of Chenin Blanc wines range from peach, apricot, and tropical fruits to honey and melon.
