Region:Southern England
Only 2,000 bottles of this exceptional sparkling wine were crafted at London Cru, London's first urban winery. Grapes from Bluestone Vineyard (Wiltshire), Locksash Vineyard (West Sussex) and Weybourne Estate (Surrey) were hand-harvested before being transported to London where they were whole-bunch pressed to preserve their vibrant character. Fermented in stainless steel tanks, the wine underwent primary and malolactic fermentation, followed by ageing in French oak and stainless steel. After bottle fermentation and 28 months on lees, the wine developed remarkable richness and complexity. Expect crisp red apple, orchard fruits, zesty lemon, brioche, marzipan and a hint of ginger on the finish.

Alex Hurley
London Cru opened in 2013 when Cliff Roberson thought it would be a great idea to build London’s first urban winery. A wine-trade face of 50 years, Cliff was no stranger to the urban wineries of America and saw no reason why we shouldn’t have one here. Alex Hurley took over as winemaker in 2018 and, since then, their focus has been producing the most exciting English wines. Hurley hails from Australia and began his career at Lethbridge Wines in the Bellarine Peninsula, near Melbourne. He then worked at wineries in Montpellier, Bordeaux, Barolo, Beaune and finally Gusbourne in Kent, before joining London Cru.
"Our Vintage 2021 exemplifies the elegance and finesse for which English sparkling wines are increasingly known. Crafted from a combination of Chardonnay grapes (84%) and Pinot Noir grapes (16%), the high proportion of Chardonnay brings a fresh, refined structure, showcasing the grape's bright acidity and mineral quality that thrive in England's cool climate. The touch of Pinot Noir complements this with subtle red fruit undertones." - Alex Hurley, Winemaker.
