Classic Cuvée

The Perfect Aperitif

The word apéritif comes from the Latin aperire, meaning “to open”. Traditionally light and dry, apéritifs are designed to awaken the palate.

Our Classic Cuvée is crafted to be the ideal apéritif: dry, crisp and mouthwateringly fresh. Approachable yet refined with delicate bubbles, it prepares the palate for food and sets the tone for the meal ahead.

“Bergamot peel on the nose. Crisp and brisk, sorrel and citrus. Lovely stoniness, like rolling marbles in your mouth. Firm and bracingly clean. Mouth-watering finish. A great appetiser! I found myself hankering for cockles to go with it!” 16.5 points. Tamlyn Currin, wine writer for Jancis Robinson

Vintage Sparkling

Vintage wines are fresher than non-vintage wines as they go straight from grape to bottle. Both connoisseurs and curious newcomers respect vintage quality, so the Classic Cuvée is the perfect high-quality choice for marking special occasions.
