High House Classic Cuvée Extra Brut 2019
Verdict: Nick's favourite"It's banging. Crisp, fresh and properly dry, with citrus and orchard fruit up front."
Made by The Althorne Estate for High House, this is the same 2019 Crouch Valley fruit in a different label. Nick suggests it with seafood, grilled chicken or simply as an aperitif.

Nick's tasting notes
NoseLemon, citrus, apple and pear.
PalateCrisp and tart. Green apple, pear and a hint of light red berries, with a fine mousse.
FinishDry, with elegant acidity and a little brioche or light toast from time on lees.
Visit the vineyard. The Althorne Estate: the ground, the grapes and how to visit.
