Hattingley Valley, Vintage 2019

Get to know: Hattingley Valley Vintage Cuvée 2019

A refined English sparkling wine from Hampshire, showcasing the very best of Hattingley Valley’s traditional-method winemaking.

Tasting Note

Hattingley Valley Vintage Cuvée 2019 is an elegant, complex sparkling wine that combines precision with real generosity of flavour. Pale gold in colour with a fine, persistent mousse, it opens with inviting aromas of toasted brioche, pistachio and honey, lifted by crisp green apple. On the palate, vibrant orchard fruit shines through, with green and red apple, bright citrus and creamy lemon posset adding depth and balance. The finish is long, poised and beautifully refined, marking this out as a standout example of premium English sparkling wine.

Top food pairings:

  • Canapés and smoked salmon blinis
  • Shellfish or oysters with lemon
  • Celebratory dishes and party nibbles
Kate Says

"This is British fizz done brilliantly well. I love how Hattingley Valley balances polish with personality – it’s confident, crowd-pleasing and still manages to feel quietly luxurious. Ideal for celebrations, big or small."
