Camel Valley Brut Reserve 2021

Bob and Sam Lindo, the father and son team at Camel Valley, dedicate huge amounts of enthusiasm to their wines. This is their flagship fizz and it is vibrant and full of flavour, with aromas of fragrant English hedgerows and a touch of honey. The vineyards are in an idyllic spot by the River Camel, and are well worth a visit. Available from 18 local stores.

VSP trained vines,

The grapes are crushed to retain more of the fruit characters that are unique to grapes grown in England. Only the free run juice is used for the sparkling wine with the pressed juice going to still wine. The juice is cooled to 4°C to retain the delicate fruit aromas. The ferment temperature is only allowed to rise to 13°C resulting in more fruit character in the base wine. This wine has spent up to 24 months on the lees for fruit freshness and resulting in a fresh yeasty character.

18-24 months on the lees before riddling and disgorging.
