A standard bearer for the finest English wine
Fresh, soft and fruity, this blend comes from one of the largest producers of English wine. Great as an apéritif and a delicious partner to the British classic – fish and chips.
I feel very fortunate to be a winemaker in England. The industry here is still in its infancy compared to other more established regions and so with every vintage we discover more about our terroir.Josh Donaghay-Spire - Winemaker
When Josh Donaghay-Spire first started studying wine at the WSET he was amazed by the amount of complex chemistry behind it.
The more he learnt, the more he realised how much he didn't know. He found it very inspiring and his thirst for knowledge grew as he was getting dipper into his studies..
As a winemaker, he believes it is fundamental to understand the vineyards and the chemistry of the fruit and wines.
Freshness and vibrancy are key features he looks for in wines and Josh finds that English fruit really delivers on this, whether it be unique aromatic white wines, classic fizz, or a twist on a rich Chablis-esque Chardonnay.
Chapel Down Brut NV is a classic example of quality English sparkling wine with aromas of red apple, citrus fruits and freshly baked bread, together with hints of strawberry and quince on the palate and fine persistent bubbles. This wine is great as an apéritif or a perfect pairing to the British classic – fish and chips.
