Hazel End Three Squirrels Brut 2013 (6 Bottles) Bishop’s Stortford, Hertfordshire, England

£138.00
by Wines by Cellars

UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED

Three Squirrels is a delightful blend of Müller-Thurgau, Huxelrebe, and Reichensteiner—three German grape varieties from vines planted over 25 years ago.

The wine offers a hint of Muscat’s characteristic sweetness, balanced beautifully by its crisp, refreshing acidity, making it irresistibly moreish. The 2013 vintage boasts impressive effervescence and vibrant character, a testament to the meticulous care behind its production. Its lively bubbles add to the charm, though opening it in the kitchen is recommended! This sparkling wine embodies the heritage and craftsmanship of Hazel End, making it a perfect choice for celebrations or simply enjoying a glass of something special.
