FITZ Brut 2017 (65 Months on Lees)
At Fitz, we like to say “why wait to celebrate” however with this extra lees aged Fitz Brut 2017 we waited a very long time as it rested in our caves for 65 months. This process called autolysis gives this sparkling wine more complexity, interest and a lingering finish which will rival the best from Champagne.
