Tiffany Nguyen VIPsAllowed - Solid but not a showstopper
7/10

Had this at a dinner party last weekend. It's well made — fresh, balanced, pleasant apple and pear notes. I just didn't get the wow factor I was hoping for at this price point. The Pinot Noir and Chardonnay blend works well though, and everyone else at the table seemed to enjoy it more than I did.

Tried this at a local wine tasting evening and immediately went and bought two bottles. The pear and apple flavours are so clean, and there's a lovely citrusy zing at the end that keeps you coming back for more. We had it with fish and chips the next day and it was brilliant.

8/10

I'm still pretty new to wine beyond grabbing whatever's on offer, but I picked this up after reading about English sparkling wines. It's really smooth and not too sweet, with a sort of creamy texture. The grapefruit hint at the end was a nice surprise. Will definitely buy again.

8/10

The guy at our local wine shop recommended this when I said I wanted something sparkling but not Prosecco. Really glad he did — it's got this nice bready thing going on underneath the fruit, and the bubbles are super fine. £35 feels fair for the quality.

7/10

It's a good sparkling wine, don't get me wrong. Crisp, appley, refreshing finish. But at nearly £35 I'd probably only buy it for a special occasion. For a midweek treat I'd stick with something cheaper.

9/10

Bought this for my wife's birthday and we were both really impressed. Lovely creamy bubbles with that apple-y freshness, and it didn't feel heavy at all even after a couple of glasses. Honestly holds its own against Champagne at twice the price.
