Sparkling English Wines
Bluebell Vineyard Estates Classic Cuvée 2014
Fragrant, floral sparkler with elderflower, orange blossom and pink grapefruit
Situated on the edge of the Ashdown Forest near the famous Bluebell Steam Railway in Sussex, Bluebell Vineyard Estates is home to the award-winning range of Hindleap English Sparkling Wines. The 2014 growing season was almost perfect a mild spring for budburst, ideal conditions at flowering and high temperatures throughout June and July, followed by a warm and sunny September which provided the ideal condition for ripening grapes. Harvest began on 7th October 2014. The warm conditions during ripening delivered fruit with a great concentration of sugars and fruit flavours, which have created wines with a rich flavour profile, great structure and juicy, balanced acidity. Fragrant, floral notes of elderflower, orange blossom and a hint of spice on the nose lead enticingly to zesty notes of mandarin, pink grapefruit and pear on the palate, creating a juicy, lingering finish.
