WINEMAKER
Kevin Sutherland oversees the blending of Bluebell’s Hindleap sparkling wines. The base wines are kept separately on their lees through winter and do not undergo malolactic fermentation, preserving their natural acidity. They are then blended for a second fermentation in bottle, followed by extended ageing on the lees.
