Tesco, Finest English Sparkling, England, United Kingdom

Produced for Tesco by Hush Heath Estate, this sparkling wine has a fresh aroma of citrus, apple and hazelnut. There's a fine mousse, bringing forth flavours of ripe apple, lemon and hints of apricot and nuts. It has good persistence on the finish.

Hush Heath has certainly been busy - it's also made an English sparkling rosé for the Coop - but practice makes perfect and this is a lovely wine, full of both fresh and baked green apple aromas and flavours, with creamy notes and a lick of lime balanced by pure, fresh acidity, leading to a fuller hint of rich stone fruit on the finish.
