About this wine

A Refined English Sparkling Wine

Smith and Evans Higher Plot Late Disgorged 2010 is a premium English sparkling wine from Somerset, produced in a tiny quantity of just 50 bottles and aged for thirteen years on its lees — a rare and indulgent treat. Pale golden in colour with a fine, persistent mousse, the nose reveals fresh orchard fruits — green apple and pear — with subtle notes of citrus, white flowers, stone fruits, honey and a hint of toasted brioche.

Refined and lively on the palate, with a harmonious blend of crisp acidity and rich flavour, the finish is long, elegant and refreshing. Ideal for toasting life's special moments, it pairs beautifully with fresh seafood, sushi, light canapés, soft cheeses or light desserts.

About the producer

Smith & Evans is a small, artisan English sparkling wine producer founded by Guy Smith and Laura Evans at their Higher Plot Farm on the edge of the Mendip Hills near Langport, Somerset. Their single-hectare vineyard — planted with Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, and Chardonnay on well-drained south-facing slopes — produces wines of remarkable purity and precision using traditional Champagne methods. The Higher Plot Late Disgorged is a particular showcase of the depth achievable from this exceptional West Country site.
