Simple, and not for me.

An interesting and complete wine, the Hambledon NV (2016 base) has more of a developed nose than most of its peers, with aromas of fresh toast, burnt butter, lemon and mandarin. The palate is a beautiful affair, clearly very Chardonnay-led with its lemony acidity but with a pleasant oxidative quality that lures you in with all the seduction of a good Champagne.
Very complex stuff, and at this price a veritable bargain too.

Nice light sparkling, not as heavy as champagne but still dry and easily drinkable

I mean, I guess it could be considered a little one dimensional but it's still super smashable fizz. Vote Brexit.
