Product Notes

Hambledon Vineyard Première Cuvée is a splendid wine showcasing the best of English viticulture. Displaying a rich gold hue and delicate bubbles, the wine has a complex nose dominated by honey, brioche and buttered toast, with hints of ripe apples, pears and citrus fruits. On the palate, this indulgent wine yields an exquisite blend of crisp acidity and smooth richness, revealing its matured taste from spending a significant time on lees. The persistence of the fine mousse and the long, fruit-filled finish make this Premier Cuvée the epitome of elegance, deserving recognition alongside world's great sparkling wines.

About the Winery

Hambledon Vineyard

Hambledon Vineyard is a quintessentially British winery, nestled in Hampshire's charming countryside. It holds the magnificent distinction of being England's oldest commercial vineyard, originally established in 1952 by the influential visionary Major General Sir Guy Salisbury-Jones. Despite numerous changes in management, the vineyard's commitment to producing exquisite English wine has remained unwavering.

In 1999, the renowned vineyard was acquired by Ian Kellett, a wine passionate economist based in London. Upon realising the potential in Hambledon's chalky soils, similar to produce quality of that in France's Champagne region, Ian decided to completely modernise the vineyard with the aim of producing the finest English sparkling wine.

The present-day vineyard prides itself on crafting premium wines that express the unique terroir of the Hambledon slopes. Their portfolio consists primarily of sparkling wines; the Classic Cuvee, Classic Cuvee Rosé, and the Premier Cuvee. Each wine is a high-quality blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Meunier, and Pinot Noir grapes, which are grown, harvested, and produced on the estate. They also offer a limited edition, still white wine – the Hambledon Vineyard Bacchus which is becoming increasingly popular amongst wine connoisseurs.

Not only is the vineyard committed to producing excellent wines, but it also boasts an interactive visitor’s centre. Here, guests can immerse themselves in the intricate process of winemaking, the unique history of Hambledon, and—of course—indulge in wine tastings.

Hambledon Vineyard reflects the undeniable evolution of English winemaking, championing the industry's potential by persistently striving for quality, and carving out a reputable name on the international stage. It is a place where the love for the land, the passion for wine and the respect for tradition and innovation are blissfully intertwined.

Hambledon Vineyard summarises an important piece of English wine history and it's continuous journey of evolution and excellence.
