English Sparkling for the Diamond Jubilee. Nyetimber and Bluebell Vineyard Estates.
We mark the Diamond Jubilee with two English sparkling tastings in a week. No prizes for guessing what nationality of fizz you should be drinking to celebrate…
Nyetimber Estate, Thursday 24th May, Quaff HOVE from 7.30pm, £7.50, call 01273 820320 to book.
The multi-award winning Grandaddy of the English sparkling producers, and now also the largest private vineyard owner in the UK, Nyetimber has undergone a huge transformation in recent years to turn it from a niche English producer into our first major global player. David Marr of Nyetimber will tell us the story and we’ll show their full new range of wines, as well as an older vintage or two.
Bluebell Vineyard Estates, Tuesday 29th May, Quaff BRIGHTON from 8pm, £5.00, call 01273 553353 to book.
A relatively young but hugely dynamic producer, Bluebell Vineyard (of Danehill) demonstrate all that is good about the expanding new generation of English sparkling producers. Their range of sparklies has quickly established itself as one of our most popular, and we’ve invited Iain MacLean down to talk us through their history and methods of production, while tasting their full range.
