English Sparkling Wines
Forty Hall Vineyard Brut 2018
Lemon, ripe apples and a touch of toastiness – beautifully balanced
This 2018 Vintage FHV London Sparkling Brut boasts a seductive rose-blush hue (from the Pinot grapes in the blend), fine mousse and a persistent stream of enticing small bubbles. With aromas of red apple, lime zest and hints of toastiness on the nose, fresh, crisp, citrus flavours all burst forth on the palate with golden kiwi and passion fruit complementing ripe Comice pear and quince notes on the finish. Its all important, vibrant acidity will ensure this 2018 vintage continues to improve even further with age. Forty Hall Vineyard is an exciting social enterprise which has established a 10 acre organic vineyard in north London. Run and managed by local people, the vineyard is the first commercial scale vineyard in London since the middle ages. The vineyard produces and sells quality English still and sparkling wines. Situated on Capel Manor College’s Forty Hall Farm, they are certified organic and dedicated to demonstrating environmentally sustainable farming and vine-growing practices.
