Hambledon Classic Cuvee English Sparkling Wine, 75 cl

Terrific English Sparkling Wine packed with all sorts of flavours including the likes of dessert apples. Sourdough with aromas of magnolia and lily. To top it all off the wine has great acidity too giving potential to age well for the next couple of years. England’s oldest commercial vineyard. Ian Kellett acquired Hambledon in 1999 with a view to restoring Hambledon to its former glory and research convinced him that the site was perfectly suited to the production of sparkling wines. The Newhaven chalk on which the vines grow was formed on the seabed of the Paris basin some 65 million years ago and is found in the best Chardonnay areas of the Côtes des Blancs in Champagne. A superb blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier the Hambledon Classic Cuvee is the perfect aperitif but also makes an ideal match to fresh seafood such as oysters, scallops, sushi or smoked salmon.
