Product information

"Spring warmth with the anticipation of summer"
Balfour Classic Cuvée is an outstanding example of England's great wine offer. Made from Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, using bottle fermentation, the wine is skilfully vinified, bottled and aged at Hush Heath's state-of-the-art Winery, home and heart of Balfour wines. True to the signature style of Balfour, this wine is perfectly balanced with lively citrus, apple fruit and vibrant acidity. Celebrate in style - try it with fish and chips.
Winemakers Owen Elias & Victoria Ash
A sparkling wine with a bouquet of lemon, crunchy apples and dried thyme. Crafted from hand-harvested Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier grapes, this dry wine has a rich flavour. Perfect as a celebratory aperitif or to complement fish and chips or roast chicken. Enjoy well chilled within a year of purchase.

Lovely

Lovely, crisp and fruity sparkling wine. I prefer this to some of the more expensive big names.

Colour, Nose and Bubbles \- all lacking \- avoid!

Pale in colour, virtually no bouquet and bubbles that disappear in the blink of an eye. We bought this as a treat hoping that for an English Sparkle it might be worth it. Oh dear - maybe stored wrongly - but thin and weedy with little petitlance. Little to no aroma/nose, Apple predominant flavour with no lasting anything, particularly the bubbles - blurb says try with Fish and Chips. Sorry this is not worth the money - quite frankly buy 2 bottles of a decent Cava or Prosecco and enjoy - we had so wanted it to work but no this bottle is a very overpriced let down, sadly. Disappointed doesn't cover it.
