"Pinot Blanc really showing what it can deliver. Serious stuff for warming Suffolk" Oz Clarke, Three Wine Men.

Our award winning Classic Cuvee is crafted with a dedication to tradition, where each bottle is a testament to patience, precision, and the elegance of English terroir. Hand-harvested from vines that flourish in a cool climate, this refined Cuvée blends Pinot Noir and Pinot Blanc, achieving an elegant and refreshing sparkling wine. 

Aged gracefully on the lees for an extended period, Classic Cuveé offers a delicate mousse and a golden, radiant hue. The nose reveals hints of crisp pears and white blossom, subtle notes of toast and biscuits and a whisper of citrus zest.

On the palate, the wine demonstrates vibrant acidity, evolving into a creamy texture that carries flavours of orchard fruits, lemon, and a touch of minerality—culminating in a clean, lingering finish.

Our award-winning Classic Cuvée is a testament to the tradition and precision of English winemaking.

  • Appearance

The wine has a radiant golden hue, shimmering with brightness and clarity. Its delicate mousse rises gently in the glass, creating a fine, consistent stream of bubbles that adds to its elegant presentation. The overall appearance is refined and inviting, highlighting the wine’s freshness and sparkling character.

  • Aroma (Nose)

On the nose, it reveals aromas of crisp pears, white blossom, and a subtle hint of toasted biscuits, with a refreshing touch of citrus zest.

  • Palate (Taste)

On the palate, the wine reveals a strong acidity and minerality, which are hallmark traits of a high-quality sparkling wine. What sets our Classic Cuvée is its depth, offering distinctive flavours of orchard fruits, a hint of lemon, and a subtle floral note. The finish is dry with a biscuit-like quality, lingering beautifully and leaving a clean, refreshing aftertaste.

  • Body

Our Classic Cuvée is medium-bodied, offering a well-balanced structure that feels both fresh and smooth. The wine's fine mousse contributes to a creamy, silky texture on the palate, enhancing its elegance without overpowering the flavours. It’s lively and refreshing, with just enough weight to give it presence, while maintaining a crisp, clean finish that keeps it light and easy to drink. The overall mouthfeel is smooth and satisfying.

The versatility of our Classic Cuvée makes it a great choice for both casual meals and special occasions. Its crisp, refreshing profile complements a wide range of dishes, enhancing the overall dining experience.
