Sharpham - Classic Cuvée 2021

Produced in the Traditional Method and aged for 19 months on the lees before release to give a rich, toasty and creamy character that sits perfectly alongside the ripe fruit. The colour has an amber hint in the glass and aromas of baked apple, raisin, caramel and bruised peach. The palate is dry and has flavours of red apple and toasted baking spice, with a focussed acidity, soft lees tannin and vibrant mousse.

Pinot Noir/ Chardonnay and Pinot Gris - Made in the traditional method from grapes grown on our South Devon vineyards on the banks of the river Dart.

Our original home on the banks of the river Dart was on the Sharpham estate in South Devon. Planted in 1981, we were one of the early pioneers of English viticulture in the UK, understanding varieties capable of ripening in our ultra cool and temperate climate in the West of the UK. Our famous iron rich red soils and green rolling hills soils are a mix of limestone and volcanic soils and it's hard to believe they were once on a tropical seabed on the equator between 250 and 400 million years ago!

Produced in the traditional method and matured on the lees for 19 months. We have built more complexity into the base wine, maturing in French oak and on the lees prior to bottling, which offers up a more savoury style of English sparkling wine.
