Description
Try eight of my spectacular sparkling wines in this mixed case specially curated for you – two bottles of four and one bottle each of three. It includes:
- my long-standing favourite non-vintage champagne
- an amazing Blanc de Blanc Crémant de Bourgogne, sparkling wine from Burgundy that is made by the champagne method
- perhaps the only Prosecco that I will drink
- an English Sparkling Wine from Dorset (very like champagne but fruitier and fresher)
- a Blanc de Noirs English Sparkling Wine from Sussex
- a lovely pink English sparkling wine
- a recently-discovered Cap Classique from South Africa that is made by the Champagne method but fruitier and terroir- focused
- a sparkling wine from Penedès in Spain that opted out of the Cava appellation to differentiate itself as it’s a step up from Cava
And it is reduced in price.

What's Included?
2 x de Castellane Saint André Brut Non-Vintage Champagne (Champagne and Similar, 12%)
For toasting at weddings, birthdays and other special occasions and for drinking with canapés, smoked salmon and other oily fish, shellfish and fish generally, chicken, turkey, mushrooms, truffles etc.
1 x Guerrieri Rizzardi Extra Dry Prosecco NV (Fresh Light Bubbly, 11%)
This is no cloyingly sweet Prosecco; if you’re looking for a really refined and subtle Prosecco to quote Tom Canavan, look no further. Probably the best Prosecco you will ever taste.
2 x Colet Tradicional Extra Brut Classic Penedès DO 2018 (Champagne and Simliar, 12%)
Think of this as top-class Cava; Colet opted out of the Cava DO to differentiate its wines from cheap Cava flooding the market. This is 100% organic, has rested on lees for 24 months giving it heaps of character, fruit and savoury flavours.
2 x Manoir du Carra Blanc de Blanc Crémant de Bourgogne NV (Champagne and Simliar, 11%)
Tasted blind, this old vine Cremant de Bourgogne could easily pass for Champagne; it’s slightly fruitier thanks to the 100% Chardonnay and a fraction lighter in body but makes a refreshing alternative to Blanc de Blanc Champagne.
1 x Lyme Bay Sparkling Rosé Brut 2014 (Aromatic Rosé, 12%)
Vintage English Sparkling Wine and an amazing alternative to Champagne; full-bodied, complex flavours and a long finish, delicious!
2 x Lyme Bay Classic Cuvée Vintage English Sparkling Wine 2017 (Champagne and Similar, 12%)
Vintage English Sparkling Wine and an amazing alternative to Champagne; full-bodied, complex flavours and a long finish, delicious!
1 x Krone Borealis Cuvée Brut Cap Classique 2021 (Champagne and Similar, 11.28%)
I wasn’t looking for another sparkling wine but had to take on this one when I tasted it. A fruity, fresh champagne style wine that is very quaffable makes a refreshing alternative to Blanc de Blanc Champagne.
1 x Ridgeview Blanc de Noirs 2015 (Crisp Light White, 13.5%)
As a fan of Blanc de Noirs champagnes, I was delighted to find this Ridgeview wine in a similar style; produced from Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier, this white vintage English sparkling wine exudes flavours of red fruits including cherries plus sweet spice and toasty notes.
