Balfour Cuvée Rose NV

There are now lots and lots and LOTS of gorgeous English Sparkling wines to choose from but finding a good one for under £20 is a bit of a challenge (making sparkling wine via the traditional ‘champagne’ method i.e. with a second bubble-inducing fermentation happening inside the bottle is a relatively expensive business). This is one of my favourites made by fantastic winemakers at Hush Heath, in Kent. It’s  a blend of classic champagne grapes and is bright and crisp with a touch of strawberries and toast about it. Fantastic value for money.
