A hint of tangy red berries and lots of nutty pastry complexity, leading to a clean mineral finish.

Bright red cherry and cranberry flavours that soften to creamier textures and notes of warm brioche. Delicious!
Notes of thyme and sage add a savoury component that would pair well with many summer dishes.
Pretty cranberry and raspberry flavours partnering crisp apple and sweet pear notes.
A flourish of crisp apples and hints of white peach, before a wave of tangy red fruit and light spiced almond notes.
Spritely energy with richer, riper tropical fruit and white peach notes.
A return to the unique place that is Breaky Bottom to taste three new Cuvée as well as a rather special gem from the 80’s.
A very pure, dry expression of Bacchus but with the added lift of the light bubbles.
A rosé that you can generously sip away on without feeling too guilty about the units.
WOTM March 2019 Seasoned with toasted hazelnuts and mineral tone; a thoroughly captivating English sparkling experience.
Drinking superbly right now, but will be truly exceptional with more time in the bottle.
