English sparkling wine from Steven Spurrier
Steven Spurrier, an emblematic figure in the world of wine, with a career spanning 50 years in the press, took the plunge into winemaking in 2008, founding one of the pioneering vineyards in England with his wife Bella. Bride Valley in Dorset makes sparkling wine from the Burgundy varietals of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, and the Pinot Meunier made famous in Champagne.
Today, their 10-hectare estate produces a blanc de blancs and a pink 2013 vintage, which will soon be joined by a brut reserve. The wines were presented to the US media during the commemorations of the 40th anniversary of the Judgement of Paris, at the time organized by Spurrier, which caused a sensation in 1976 by revealing to the world the excellence of Californian wines.
A festive launch at Raymond Vineyards for the Bride Valley brand, which will be officially available on the American market from January 2017.
