Fresh, zesty, and effortlessly drinkable

White Charmat is sparkling wine, but not as you know it.

Forget the fancy stuff - this is fresh, fruit-forward fizz made for pure, uncomplicated enjoyment.

A vibrant blend led by Sauvignon Blanc, Reichensteiner, and Bacchus it’s crisp, zesty, and packed with juicy citrus and green apple.

Perfect for anytime, anywhere. No need to wait for a special occasion, just pop the cork and enjoy the future of English sparkling wine. Fun, fresh, and full of life.

Crisp, bright, and full of fresh citrus and orchard fruits, Charmat is a refreshing, easy-drinking sparkling wine. Lively bubbles, with lemon, pear, green apple and floral notes, with a juicy, mouth-watering finish.

Food Pairing

White Charmat is all about freshness and vibrancy. Fizzing with bright citrus, orchard fruit and floral notes, it’s crisp, clean, and beautifully balanced. A perfect aperitif, but just as happy accompanying seafood, Summer salads, or a chilled afternoon glass in the sunshine.

Technical Notes

Grape varieties:
Sauvignon Blanc (26%), Reichensteiner (21%), Bacchus (16%), Auxerrois (14%), and a blend of other aromatic varieties (23%).

Alcohol:
11.5 %. No chaptalisation (the addition of sugar to adjust abv) meaning the alcohol comes 100 % from natural sugars.

Titratable acidity:
8.3 g / L - fresh and crisp but balanced and light for a sparkling wine.

Residual sugar:
7.8 g / L - puts the wine in Brut territory. Dry when compared to Italian fizz but slightly sweeter than traditional method fizz.

Vinification

An eclectic blend of aromatic, white grape varieties were picked early in the season. Crushed and de-stemmed and pressed gently under a nitrogen blanket to preserve fruit character. Fermentation in stainless steel using aromatic yeast strains.

After fermentation, the wine was racked off gross lees immediately and 10 % was sent to barrel to hold back for the following year. The remaining wine was blended to create the freshest, cleanest and most aromatic base wine we could achieve.

Secondary fermentation in isobaric 'Charmat' tanks gives a natural and delicate effervescence before bottling and being ready to drink right away.

Ingredients
