English Sparkling Wines
England has emerged as one of the world's most exciting sparkling wine regions, producing fizz that genuinely rivals Champagne in blind tastings. Our collection of English sparkling wines showcases this remarkable achievement through Furleigh Estate, a Dorset producer whose wines embody everything we love about English fizz - elegant, precise, beautifully balanced, and utterly delicious. What draws us to English sparkling wine is the combination of cool-climate elegance with distinctive terroir character. The chalky soils of southern England, similar to Champagne's terroir, produce wines with remarkable minerality and aging potential. We've personally visited Furleigh Estate, walked their vineyards, and tasted through their range, which is why we can speak about these wines with genuine enthusiasm rather than patriotic bias - they're simply exceptional.
Why Our British Sparkling Wine Collection Is Exceptional
What makes our British sparkling wine selection genuinely special is the quality and range we've assembled from Furleigh Estate. Their Special Reserve Brut showcases classic English sparkling wine character - fine bubbles, crisp acidity, and beautiful integration of fruit and structure. The Brut Rosé offers elegance with a gorgeous pink hue, perfect for celebrations. And the Blanc de Noirs Brut 2017 demonstrates that English sparkling wine can age beautifully, developing toast and complexity whilst maintaining freshness. These aren't wines trying to copy Champagne - they're distinctly English expressions that stand proudly on their own merits. All Furleigh wines are exclusive to Givino, giving you access to sparkling wine uk production that isn't widely available.
Exploring the Character of Sparkling English Wine
The beauty of sparkling English wine lies in its distinctive profile. England's cool climate produces high natural acidity, which translates to refreshing, food-friendly fizz with remarkable aging potential. The longer growing season allows complex flavor development whilst maintaining brightness. You'll find citrus, green apple, and subtle stone fruit in younger wines, with toast, brioche, and hazelnut emerging with bottle age.
Characteristics of our English sparkling wine brands include:
- Fine, persistent bubbles from traditional method production
- Crisp acidity that refreshes the palate and makes these wines brilliantly food-friendly
- Elegant fruit - green apple, lemon, white peach - rather than overt richness
- Minerality from chalky soils that adds complexity and length
