About this item
English fizz has soared in quality over the last decade and today produces some of the finest in the world. We are delighted to bring you this unique bubbly from Windsor Great Park. There was, in fact, a vineyard in the Park in the 1100s, under King Henry II. Nine centuries later, in 2010, Tony Laithwaite discovered a 3-hectare, south-facing plot there, sloping down to Great Meadow Pond, with all the attributes for a top-class vineyard - gentle breezes, a moderate climate, well-drained soils. We gained permission to plant Champagne's classic varieties and harvested our first grapes in 2013. This is our 8th release, based on the ripe 2020 vintage, topped up by reserve wines to add toasty complexity to a core of citrus and stone fruit.
