Sparkling Wines

The continuing issues with the availability of champagne and the economic cycle are combining to put sparkling wines in pole position to benefit. Prosecco has put fizz on the map as an everyday drink and fuelled an interest in all things sparkling.

With lovely peachy fruit character in Tanners Prosecco, it is easy to see why this has become such a hit with our customers. Tanners Cava still commands its place in our range; with its weightier style, not only is it great to share for a toast, it also goes well with food. For those looking for a real champagne alternative Nyetimber’s English fzz is second to none, while the Blanquettede Limoux region predates Champagne in making sparkling wine. Te Crémants from France’s other regions, such as Jura, Alsace and Burgundy (Bourgogne) amongst others, are rapidly, and justifably, gaining popularity. For those wanting something a little more frivolous for the summer months, try the brilliant dry rosé ‘Malbec Bubbles’ from master craftsman Patricio Gouguenheim’s stable. Anyone eschewing alcohol should look at the So Jennie Alcohol Free from France as a good example.
