The Adnams Selection Champagne, Brut

Saturday, June 28th, 2008

30664399 The Adnams Selection Champagne, Brut


Eight out of ten East Anglian brides' fathers can't be wrong: it's their top choice for wedding Champagne. We wholeheartedly pin our name to this fresh, effusive cuvée with its appealing, citrusy flavours. The blend is astute: Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier in the main, lending backbone and substance to the flowery fruitiness of Chardonnay.

Assero Bio Brut, La Mancha

Friday, June 27th, 2008

30664322 Assero Bio Brut, La Mancha


Made from 100% Airen by the Bodega San Isidro near Toledo. Unusually the fermentation of this organic sparkler is limited during the secondary fermentation by cutting down the amount of yeast available to the natural sugars and the effect of this is to retain a low alcohol level and a soft, full flavoured palate.
