Chalklands Classic Cuvée

Sparkling wines from England can be crisp or tart, light or full bodied, and include lively notes of lemon and citrus, or taste like apples and pears. Depending on the winemaking methods, there may also have creamy and toasty characteristics. Just like France's Champagne region—located only 80 miles from England's popular winegrowing regions —many of the sparkling wines in England are blends of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier. But unlike France, they aren't restricted to what specific grapes can be used. England's best sparkling wines hail from Sussex, Kent and the White Cliffs of Dover, which are all located on the southern coast of England along the banks of the English Channel.
