Stopham Brut Prestige 2017, Sussex
The perfect bottle of bubbles to offer up during a garden party or as an aperitif! This traditional method English sparkling wine is elegant and fresh in equal measure with notes of honeyed brioche and grapefruit. A delight in a glass. Cheers!

Sharpham Sparkling Blanc 2017, Devon
Exceptional winemaking has produced a stunning English traditional method wine. After harvest, grapes were ‘whole berry pressed’ at a tonne at a time, followed by racking (to remove the wine from other grape matter). The ferment was carried out at a controlled 14.5 degrees centigrade until dry. The wine then matured over the winter before being blended in preparation for bottling in the traditional method.

Canterbury Rosé 2018, Kent
An exquisite sparkling rosé offering a real point of difference from others on the market! The mousse on the Canterbury Rosé is luscious, full and creamy giving the perception of strawberries and cream on the nose. On the pallets, a rich raspberry sorbet. A revelation of a wine!
