This Wine: English sparkling wine made in the Champagne method. This is rich but bright and full of finesse. Only 438 bottles produced.
Notes on the Winemaker: Lucie and Jules grow grapes in Kent using organic and biodynamic farming practices (with certification to follow soon). Daniel and Nicola at Offbeat purchase many of these grapes to make their own wine with and Dan has spoken to us enthusiastically about the quality of fruit produced.
