Brut Reserve English Sparkling White Blend
Appledore, Kent, England
Rich lemon yellow color and loads of citrus on nose and palate. There is a lively richness to the texture that offsets the high acidity. Green apple, lemon, hawthorn and acacia. Very refreshing. Very active mouse - maybe not quite enough time in cellar to force the bubbles smaller for creamier texture but delightful. Uses all three major Champagne grapes - it has Champagne fruit but not quite the minerality

First English sparkling
Delicate - florals, white peach, lemon curd, lots of brioche. beautifully round, creamy, subtle, and well integrated bubbs. Leaves kind of a heavy residue in the mouth?

Dufter rigt af brioche, mandler, moden pære, lys abrikos. Knapt så raffineret i munden, men let frisk syre og fine bløde bobler. Tør men ikke knastør. Bedre en de fleste andre alternativer til champagne (53 pct Pinot Noir, resten er Chardonnay og Pinot Meunier)

First British sparkler I've ever had and am quite impressed. Good sharpness with refined subtle notes.

Nice depth and acid with a hint of funk.
