NV Coates & Seely Brut Reserve

Coates & Seely Brut Reserve is an expression of place.

In the chalk downs of Hampshire lies Coates and Seely Vineyard and winery where, since 2006, they’ve been growing Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier grapes for their sparkling wines.

This multi-vintage English Sparkling is typically aged for 2 ½ to 3 years on lees and blended with 2 to 3 prior years’ reserve wines. The wine is only released after a further 6-12 months on cork.

“It’s pale gold in colour, with a steady stream of fine bubbles; aromatically you’ll find ultra-freshness and a distinctive sappy cool infusing the shy orchard fruits, like a sniff of an early spring morning before the mist has lifted. It’s taut, tight and stony on the palate — but the quality of the fruit, teased to ripeness over the long-houred English summer, is there for all to taste.” – 97 Points, Decanter World Wine Awards

“Extremely pretty apple and lemon-curd aromas with some honey-dew melon undertones. Hints of bread dough. Full-bodied with plenty of fruit, a layered texture and a creamy finish. Fruity, yet tight and focused.” – 93 Points, James Suckling
