The 2022 Sparkling Winchester is a beautifully refined expression—and the newest vintage of the wine that earned a Bronze Medal at last year’s Sparkling Wine World Championship. Building on that success, this current release has also been entered into this year’s competition, with results eagerly anticipated.
In the glass, a steady stream of fine, delicate bubbles rises with elegance, releasing an inviting bouquet of freshly baked brioche, warm pastry, and subtle toasted almond. On the palate, the wine is impeccably dry and harmoniously balanced, where vibrant, lively acidity meets a soft, creamy texture. Layers of bright citrus zest and crisp orchard fruit unfold gracefully, complemented by a gentle whisper of honeyed toast that adds depth and intrigue.
The finish is long, polished, and refined, leaving lingering notes of brioche and a touch of minerality that speak to both craftsmanship and character. Sophisticated yet approachable, the 2022 Sparkling Winchester is a celebratory wine that captures both elegance and promise in every glass.
