Hambledon Première Cuvée (6 Bottles) Hambledon, Hampshire, England
£422.00
UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED
Confit lemon, orange blossom and white lily exude on the nose, nestling amongst ripe apricot, white peach and baked red apple. The palate intensifies, evolving into tarte Tatin, almond croissant and a dusting of crumble, yet maintaining a precise structure, creamy texture and mouth-watering acidity.
The finish develops a mineral, chalky quality, nodding to our Hampshire terroir, and the svelte mousse remains persistent and elegant. Incredibly complex and immensely enjoyable.
About Hambledon Vineyard
Established in 1952 by Major-General Sir Guy Salisbury-Jones, Hambledon Vineyard boasts a rich heritage as England’s oldest commercial vineyard. Nestled in the picturesque Hampshire countryside, known as the ‘Cradle of Cricket,’ it stands as a pioneer of English winemaking innovation.
The vineyard’s success is deeply rooted in its geology. The vines flourish on chalky soils formed over 65 million years ago in the Paris Basin seabed, a terroir strikingly similar to the Champagne region. This unique foundation provides the perfect conditions for producing exceptional sparkling wines.
At Hambledon, we believe that crafting fine sparkling wines requires two essential elements: the finest raw materials and the expertise of world-class winemakers. Our commitment to excellence begins with meticulous care for the vineyard and extends to every stage of the winemaking process, ensuring each bottle reflects the character and quality of our remarkable heritage.
