English Fizz from Denbies

An English fizz from Denbies, available at Waitrose

When it comes to English wines, fizz is where it's at - English fizz is our nation's truly world-class wine.

This Denbies Greenfields has recently won a Gold Medal at the IWC.

Greenfields (£23.99, Waitrose) traditional-method fizz, from Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier with three years on the lees; toasty, leesy orchard fruit, fresh acidity, with citrussy sherbet, minerality and a fine mousse.

Rich and complex, still young; very elegant and adept.

Very Good

Serve as a aperitif or match with seafood starters.
