South Ridge Cuvée Merret 2007

English sparkling wine is taking the wine world by storm - taste why with this regal triumph!

South Ridge Cuvée Merret comes from the estate that once won the International Wine and Spirit Competition's World Wide Trophy for Best Sparkling Wine.

"British fizz is the closest thing there is to Champagne," writes Oz Clarke, and the South Downs even boasts the same combination of chalk and clay as the hallowed French region. This is perhaps why several big Champagne houses have made overtures to buy the estate!

And no wonder: Ridge View stake a real claim to being the leading producer in the country, and the quality is truly astonishing. As critic Michael F. Edwards writes, the wine has "the richness and restraint I associate more with top Champagne producers like Pol Roger, Billecart-Salmon and Jacquesson than with any English sparkling wine. Bravo!"

Even Her Majesty popped open a few bottles at her 80th birthday bash in London - preferred choice, not patriotic duty. Don't miss your chance to taste what all the fuss is about.
