English Reserve Demi-Sec

Grapes Chardonnay, Pinot Meunier, Pinot Noir
Colour White
Origin United Kingdom, English Sparkling Wine
ABV 12%

'English Reserve' is the latest release from the brilliant Ambriel Estate. At 29 g of residual sugar per litre - this is very definitely 'demi-sec'. It is made from 100% Pinot Noir, harvested from a single vineyard on the West Sussex estate. Based on the 2010 harvest, this has spent three years maturing on its less before being disgorged on 23 April 2014. This first release is made up of just 1,000 bottles, and arrives just in time for the Christmas season where it will work beautifully as a partner for Christmas pudding. L&S (Nov 2014)

It’s called English Reserve because that is what we English are famous for. We are hoping to tingle some stiff upper lips!Winemaker's notes

Ambriel

Redfold Vineyards are situated overlooking West Sussex’s beautiful South Downs, with Ambriel being made from grapes grown on what used to be a hill used for grazing sheep. Owner Wendy Outhwaite, former barrister and QC, strives to produce wines which reflect the particular characteristics of their soil and climate, or ‘terroir’.
Charles and Wendy built their own state of the art winery adjacent to the vineyard, to which the grapes are taken immediately after being picked. Unusually, Redfold only vinify grapes that they have grown, and don’t have any contract winemaking in order to offset their start-up costs. The wines really are solely from the South Downs.
Redfold concentrate on sparkling wines, as is typical of many of the English wine producers, using the Traditional Method and produced from the classic champagne grape varieties of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier. They may be fairly new to the English wine world, but Redfold have already won silver at the IWC awards, perhaps due to the fact that, in their own words, ‘our wines are unapologetically English – and they taste divine!’
