This English NV Sparkling Cuvée uses the three traditional Champagne varieties: Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier. Drawing from the 2014, 2015 and 2016 vintages, this sparkling wine has been aged in bottle for two years on its lees. It’s no surprise that it won the 2023 WineGB Gold Medal.
The Cuvée is soft and dry, revealing lemon, apple and mineral flavours. It’s a worthy alternative to NV Champagne.
This is a great choice for those keen on supporting the English wine industry and the ‘buy local’ movement. Priced at £22 when purchased directly from the vineyard, it’s also available through various stockists.
