Harrow and Hope, Vintage 2017, Buckinghamshire, England

Harrow and Hope, Vintage 2017 is their flagship sparkling wine and at £38 a bottle it needs to be excellent and I must admit it is. It dry crisp with an excellent length of finish there’s richness in all parts of the palate. The citrus notes come through without being harsh and the acidity is just right, perfect on its own or with seafood.

It’s on a par with top notch champagne, although it’s a shame that it’s £38 a bottle as it will put people off trying it.
