Lena Petrova VIPsAllowed - Nice but a bit pricey for what it is
6/10

It's a pleasant enough sparkling wine — clean, dry, apple and citrus flavours. But honestly for £28+ I expected something with a bit more going on. Would probably buy again if it was closer to £20.

8/10

Bought this for my wife's birthday dinner and we both really enjoyed it. Lovely green apple thing going on, and the bubbles are super fine and creamy. At nearly £29 it's not an everyday buy but for a celebration it's well worth it.

8/10

Had this at a friend's dinner party and immediately asked what it was. So refreshing and dry without being harsh. There's a lovely bready quality to it that reminds me of proper Champagne. Tracked down a bottle the next week and it didn't disappoint.

7/10

Saw this on a restaurant menu and gave it a go. Really crisp and clean with lots of apple and a bit of pear. The bubbles are delicate and it just feels elegant without being stuffy. Would happily order again.

Celeste Moreno VIPsAllowed - My new favourite sparkling!
9/10

I don't know loads about wine but I absolutely loved this. It's dry and fresh with this amazing apple flavour and the fizziness is really smooth, not aggressive like prosecco can be. Brought a couple of bottles to a BBQ and everyone was asking about it. Already ordered more.

7/10

The guy at my local wine shop recommended this as an alternative to Champagne. It's crisp and fresh with a nice appley flavour, and I liked that it's brut nature so not sweet at all. Good but I'm not sure I'd pick it over a decent Crémant at this price point.
