Start the year off right with the perfect bubbly. Whether you’re celebrating new year's eve celebrations or just looking for a new great sparkling wine to enjoy, these three incredible sparklers come highly recommended, for a reason too.
Made with the same traditional champagne method on our own English soils, let's dive right into the English Vine's Champagne Beaters Case, ready for the new year.
The Champagne Beaters Case
Our top 3 most delicious and affordable wines are based on a blind test we did with industry experts. Three English sparkling wines came out in first, second and third place, on top of champagne big names, hence the name of the case. What were those three legendary bottles you ask?
1. WESTWELL PELEGRIM
- Bubbles
- ABV 11%
- Kent
Like Champagne, only better. When the mood strikes for some bubbles, why not reach for a bottle of Westwell Pelegrim Sparkling Wine? From the English countryside of Kent comes this delightful bottle-fermented sparkling wine, made with a combination of Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay with reserve wines from previous vintages.
This results in a complex and extra-dry non-vintage wine that boasts flavours of citrus (orange peel), apple, and brioche notes that add that extra something special. No matter the occasion, this sparkling wine is sure to add some extra excitement! It's an excellent wine that won't break the bank despite its vibrant freshness and quality.
2. HAMBLEDON CLASSIC CUVEE
- 75CL
- ABV 12%
- HAMPSHIRE, ENGLAND
Coming to us from the rolling hills of Hampshire in England, this blend of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Pinot Meunier is certain to please even the pickiest palates. With its bright acidity, on the nose, you'll be welcomed with subtle floral aromas along with hints of biscuit, pastry and almonds, while the taste will provide you with notes of green apples, a hint of citrus and a light toast - all held together by perfect bubbles. Whether it's a special celebration or just an everyday tipple - you can find out what makes this world-class English sparkler so beloved for yourself!
3. NYETIMBER CLASSIC CUVEE NV
- Bubbles
- ABV 12%
- Sussex
You've probably heard us banging on about this one but it's for a good reason, we promise. This legendary bottle of bubbly is produced in the South of England. The signature blend of this delightful wine consists of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier grapes, helping to create an impressively crisp yet elegant taste that's perfect for special occasions or if you're wanting to add some extra sparkle to your day.
