Chapel Down is the UKs largest winemakerand one of its best. Even ten years ago, English wine wasnt something any wine lover gave much time to. Its thanks to pioneers like Chapel Down that thats all changed and English wine has gained the recognition it deserves. Their vineyards are ideally positioned in the south-east, with HQ among the oast houses, deep in picturesque East Sussex. Here, the chalk soils and balmy climate are ideal for making crisp wines. Its made using the laborious and expensivetraditional method, standard in Champagne. But though its made from the same grapesChardonnay and Pinot Noirthese are altogether zestier bubbles. Apple. Lemongrass. Quince. Its fresh, fruity and really moreish. Perfect to cut through the crunchy batter of fish and chips.
