Harrow and Hope Reserve No. 8
English Sparkling Wine 2019
Marlow, England
Arriving: In Stock
As the blend would suggest, this sits between the two extreme ends of the spectrum, in this instance based on the 2019 vintage, comprising 40% Pinot Noir, 40% Chardonnay and 20% Pinot Meunier with oak-aged reserves going back to 2014. The long ripening season of 2019 lends itself to the Pinot Noir here, giving a more elegant and focussed structure, lovely to drink now.
"It has a wonderfully rich, rounded texture from the off, with green apples, biscuits, toasted almonds. There's a slight Fino-like sherry freshness I haven't tasted with previous incarnations which offsets the richness very well"
