Explaining that the changing climate of the British Isles has created pockets of land eminently suitable for viticulture, Stewart Wilde embarks upon a tour of 58 English and Welsh vineyards, from Polgoon in Penzance to Leventhorpe in West Yorkshire. Each entry comprises visiting information, site photographs, tasting notes, details on the terroir and insights into the makers and their craft.
In the space of a few short years, English and Welsh sparkling wines have become recognised as some of the best in the world. Improvements in viniculture, a changing climate and terroir that often mimics the conditions found in the Champagne region of France have combined with the care and attention of predominantly artisanal makers to make fantastic wine. Travelling around more than 50 vineyards, Sparkling Wine celebrates this revolution. The expert author provides tasting notes, visiting information, and details on the terroir for each vineyard, along with engaging insight into the makers and their craft.
This book provides an effervescent accompaniment to any country holiday. It collates directions, maps and opening times, making for an informative and accessible guide. You are rarely as far from a vineyard as you might think, and with Sparkling Wine in your pocket, with its pictures of rambling hills and grape-laden vines, Britain's vineyards seem even closer still.
