Castle Book Classic Cuvée 2010

Situated in the West Country, close to the Welsh border, the Castle Brook Vineyard produces some of the highest quality English grapes in the industry. The Wye Valley in South Herefordshire is known for first-class production of fruit and vegetables and the proprietors of the vineyard, the Chinn family, are known for growing fantastic asparagus.

In 2004, knowing that their land had huge potential, the Chinn family planted vines of the Champagne grapes and produced their first vintage in 2006 to much acclaim. Grape growing and farming at the vineyard is handled by the Chinn family and a partnership has been created with Ridgeview Estate for assistance with wine production. This combination of a fine grape grower and an established, quality wine maker results in a wonderful product.

The Castle Book Classic Cuvée 2010 is a yellow-gold colour and gold is something which has become regularly associated with this wine, winning a gold medal in the Champagne and Sparkling Wine World Championships and a number of other prestigious competitions.

Of the UK sparkling wines featured in this edition, this holds the closest resemblance to a Champagne, thanks to the traditional production methods used in its development. It’s smooth and delicate, and offers light lemon and orange flavours, finishing with subtle cinnamon and nut. If you’re toasting a celebration and looking for a UK wine, there’s no doubt that Castle Book Classic Cuvée is what you need.
