Description
South Ridge Cuvée Merret 2005 comes from the estate that won the International Wine and Spirit Competition's World Wide Trophy for Best Sparkling Wine. Owner Mike Roberts is officially the "King of Fizz"! Even Her Majesty popped open a few bottles at her 80th birthday bash in London - preferred choice, not patriotic duty!

Everyone wants this wine - including the French. Several big Champagne houses have made overtures to buy the estate. As Oz Clarke says "British fizz is the closest thing there is to Champagne" - indeed the South Downs boasts the same combination of chalk and clay as Champagne!

Lovely light gold, with a very fine mousse - always a sign of quality fizz - and an elegant, creamy character. Brimful of delicious melon and honey flavours the finish is soft and full. Delicious on its own and with canapés.
