The Grange Classic Cuvee, Hampshire England

A beautifully poised English sparkling wine that delivers elegance without trying too hard. Expect crisp green apple, lemon zest and subtle orchard fruit, layered with delicate brioche and toasted almond from time on lees. The mousse is fine, the acidity bright, and the finish clean and refreshing - proper crowd-pleasing fizz with serious quality credentials. Perfect as a welcome drink, but even better with fresh oysters, soft cheeses or anything lightly fried (tempura, anyone?). Music pairing: something smooth but celebratory - think Fleetwood Mac Dreams or a bit of laid-back soul to let the bubbles do their thing.
