Litmus Wines Element 20 is a finely crafted English wine that embodies a unique blend of Pinot Noir and Meunier, grown in Hampshire's iconic chalky soil. This sparkling wine is classified as a Brut Nature - meaning that it has no added sugar - and is the perfect accompaniment to any occasion. Element 20 is an explosion of complexity on the palate, offering a range of subtle flavors that blend together harmoniously, resulting in a wine that is both bold and delicate. Hand-picked and gently pressed, the grapes are fermented in stainless steel tanks before undergoing a secondary fermentation in the bottle. This process gives Element 20 its effervescence and long-lasting flavor profile, making it one of the most revered wines on the market today.

About the Winery
