Fabulous NV sparkling which has just won a big trophy at the Wine GB 2025 awards.
65% Pinot Noir, 25% Chardonnay 10% Pinot Meunier
‘Culver’, named after Culver chalk, is Pinot Noir-dominant, offering a more opulent style with a savoury, spicy character.
Best Sparkling NV Trophy
"“Evocatively smoky, more Pinot-dominant style with hints of marzipan. Complex yeasty bruised red apple and green pears aromas with green herbs and white flowers. Bracing acidity at its core, chalky green apple acidity. Then savoury yeasty complexity. Broad palate, umami-opulent mouth-coating. Gastronomic, beautifully balanced. It’s layered, engaging and serious, very accomplished. Aged reserve wine coming through, the palate is precise and well defined. Wonderful classic cuvée style. Serious! A little edgy and aldehydic too, but in a good way. Tastes low dosage (and is). Lovely freshness and vibrancy.“ 97pts
