Over a decade ago, we released the very first bottles of The Trouble with Dreams – the 2009, 2010, and 2011 rapidly gaining critical acclaim as among the best sparkling wines in the UK. Each subsequent vintage has had big shoes to fill, so we’re delighted that the latest release more than lives up to expectations. Our signature sparkling wine for good reason.

Equinox English Sparkling | Mixed 6

The Spring Equinox English Sparkling Mixed Case: The New ClassicsThere is a sentimental magic to the Spring Equinox. It is the moment the earth shakes off the winter; the days stretch longer, the ground bubbles with life, and throughout the vineyards of England, it marks the official start of the growing season.
To celebrate the arrival of spring, we have gathered a 6-bottle case of the absolute finest English sparkling wines available.Driven by our cool climate and magnificent chalk soils, the best estates in the country are producing wines of such tension, complexity, and age-worthiness that they regularly vie with their counterparts in Champagne for the top rankings.
Winemakers here are no longer trying to copy Champagne; they are celebrating their own unique, wild terroir. Their fresh, crystalline profiles are the perfect antidote to the heavy wines of winter, capturing the brilliant, crisp energy of a spring morning.
What's Inside the Mixed Case:
2020 Trouble with Dreams, Sugrue: Crafted by Dermot Sugrue, this wine is bursting with soul and a gripping, mineral intensity.
2018 Rosé Ex Machina, Sugrue: Another magnificent creation from Dermot Sugrue, showcasing his absolute mastery of the South Downs.
NV Rosé Brut, Nyetimber: Nyetimber is one of the original visionaries of English sparkling wine, boldly planting the three classic Champagne varieties in West Sussex back in 1988. Their beautiful NV Rosé Brut offers a creamy, red-fruit profile with an edgy, saline finish.
2022 Brut, Herbert Hall: From a sunny, organic site in Marden, Kent, farmed by the Hall family for three generations. Uniquely, a portion of the blend is fermented in oak barrels, giving the wine a superb, gastronomic texture.
2022 Classic, Black Chalk: The brilliant Jacob Leadley works with the pure chalk of Hampshire's Test Valley to bring the best out of 34 different clones and rootstock combinations, creating focused, saline, and incredibly pure wines.
2021 Wild Rose, Black Chalk: This wine was awarded 95 Points and Best Sparkling Rosé at the last WineGB Awards.
With their bright, orchard-fruit profiles and lip-smacking freshness, these wines are the ultimate companion for the warmer spring days ahead.
