Expert Opinion
In the press...
Jamie Goode - S Magazine, Sunday Express 07/04/2013Of the 2008 vintage, Jamie Goode said: “A blend of the classic champagne varities, pinot noir, chardonnay and pinot Meunier, this is a stylish fizz with some fruity, herby character, a hint of hops and some richness. It has a delightfully fresh, fruity style.”

England sparkles

Point 1. It is not champagne Point 2. It is a wonderful sparkling wine. Light fragrant. Not at all thin or sharp. Surprisingly long and horribly moreish. These people make great wines. I have always tended to avoid english sparkling as it is relatively expensive, so why not have the real thing. This was a mistake. The wine is not an imitation.
