About this wine
A Sparkle from Somerset's Hillside
From the limestone slopes of Hellenge Hill comes a sparkling wine that captures the very essence of Somerset. Produced by Thatchers and available online exclusively through The Wine Shop, this Classic Cuvee is a rare expression of English winemaking rooted in the landscape's natural heritage.
Hellenge Hill is celebrated for its calcareous grassland and unique flora, mirroring conditions found in some of Europe's finest vineyards. Here, vines draw mineral depth from the soil, giving the wine a bright, zesty edge and a vivid sense of place. Expect lively aromas of crisp green apple, citrus zest and delicate florals, layered with a biscuity richness from traditional bottle ageing. The palate is finely balanced -- refreshing yet rounded -- leading to a clean, elegant finish that lingers beautifully.
Perfect for toasts, celebrations or quiet indulgence, this is Somerset sparkling at its finest: local heritage meets timeless English fizz.
Where This Wine Comes From
Cool-climate English sparkling wine from the chalk downs of Sussex and Kent is now rivalling Champagne on the world stage. This white carries Thatchers Cider's signature.
