Hattingley Valley Blanc de Blancs 2018

Olivia Park — Nice but hard to justify the price

7/10

Look, it's a good wine. Clean finish, well balanced, no complaints on the taste front. But fifty-three quid for English sparkling? I've had champagnes for less that I enjoyed just as much. Would happily drink it again if someone else was buying.

Elena Vasquez — Birthday treat that delivered

9/10

Got this as a birthday present from my partner and wow, it really punches above a lot of sparkling wines I've had. The acidity is spot on — crisp without being sharp. Kept going back for another glass which is always a good sign.

Tyler Bennet — This is what I want on a Friday night

9/10

I'm not usually one to spend over £50 on a bottle but I grabbed this on a whim and don't regret it at all. It smells amazing straight out of the bottle — no waiting around for it to open up. Rich but still fresh, if that makes sense? Already ordered another one.
