Spectator Wine Club: 12x Ambriel, 'Wendling' Blanc de Blancs, 2018

"We Brits can hold our heads up: much of what we make is world-class. I’m delighted, then, that thanks to Honest Grapes, we can feature here one of my all-time favourite English sparkling wine producers – Ambriel in West Sussex, founded and run by Charles and Wendy Outhwaite, huge fans of the Speccie.

The 2018 Ambriel Wendling Blanc de Blancs (3) is a bona fide Spectator scoop. Yet to hit the market, it’s only available through these pages (until the end of May). Made entirely from Chardonnay and aged for more than five years, it’s dry but rich and concentrated with a zingy freshness and bursts of lemon sherbet. It’s gorgeous. Wendling is Wendy’s hitherto secret nickname, and she’s gorgeous too."
