2009 Bolney Estate Bubbly from Sussex, England. Chardonnay and Müller Thurgau. Not bad but not great either. Green fruit and citrus peel with hints of toast. Reminiscent of Prosecco and seems slightly off-dry. A tad bit astringent on the finish. Much better sections from this producer available. #wine #sommelier #england #englishwine

2010 Hush Heath #English #Rosé, Kent, #England. Blend of the 3 traditional sparkling grapes. Super austere with notes of dried raspberry, pink grapefruit and citrus peel. Very dry with loads of chalky minerality. Think of this as sparkling wine without the bubbles from one of my favorites fizz producers in the #UK. #wine #sommelier — 10 years ago
