Description

This is made for us by the celebrated Hambledon Vineyard. Bright, pure and refreshing, a neatly woven mousse supports notes of stone-fruit, gooseberry crumble and English meadow. The palate is foaming and firmly mineral, showcasing the quality of the Chardonnay from Hampshire’s pure chalk soils. This is the perfect partner for any celebration.

Critics reviews

Julie Sheppard 93/100
Made for Berry Bros & Rudd by Hambledon Vineyard in Hampshire (the UK's oldest commercial vineyard), this is a stylish English sparkler. Aromas of freshly baked bread, candied peel, roasted nuts and stone fruit, with hints of meadow grass. Chalk soils lend a mineral core to the clean, crisp and well-rounded palate, with brisk citrus balancing savoury tones and a nip of salinity.Drink 2023 - 2025julie_sheppard, Decanter.com (February 2023)
