Fitzrovia Brut Sparkling Rosé Blend 2013

Not quite as good as their brut offering, but they are making really good sparkling wine. Bright well balanced flavors and creamy mouse on finish. One of the better English producers I've had. — 9 years ago

Nyetimber

Demi-Sec Chardonnay

-
8.9

The wine is clear and bright with a medium lemon colour.
The nose is clean and fully developed, showing medium+ intensity aromas of lemon peel, rye bread, brioche, green apple and hints of honey.
The wine is medium-sweet, with a high well-integrated acidity. It has a medium alcohol and a medium+ body. It has medium+ intensity flavours and a medium finish.
It is a very good quality wine. Demi-sec are not my style, but it has a wonderful balance between acidity and sweetness, and it shows a quite decent complexity provided by autolytic and maturity notes. However it is a bit short.

Black Dog Hill Vineyard

Classic Cuvee Sparkling Blend 2011

Quite a pale coloured sparkling wine with a quite light bouquet of pear. The taste is a delightful but delicate ripe pear and lime. Quite soft and refreshing albeit the aftertaste is relatively short-lived. Lacks the complexity of a full blown champagne but I rank this 'grower' English sparkling wine as superior to Nyetimber's classic cuvée. Ultimately very quaffable and (currently) very good value. Recommended. — 9 years ago

Proof that the beat English fizz can age beautifully. A rare magnum from Ridgeview; pioneers of the English winemaking revival and still one of its greatest producers. The Blanc de Blanc style is becoming an English classic. — 10 years ago
