The English Wine Revolution
There was a time when the world of fine sparkling wine was entirely dominated by the historic houses of the continent. Today, the landscape has shifted, and some of the most exciting, dynamic, and celebrated sparkling wines in the world are being produced on English soil. At the forefront of this renaissance is Hattingley Valley.
Curated as part of the Jake Vine's collection at Raison d'Être, Hattingley Valley represents the pinnacle of modern British winemaking; a perfect marriage of traditional methods and innovative spirit.
The Hampshire Terroir
Nestled in the picturesque Hampshire countryside, Hattingley Valley benefits from the same chalky, limestone-rich soils found in the most prestigious sparkling wine regions of France. This unique terroir, combined with a cool English climate, allows for a long, slow ripening period. The result? Grapes that possess a vibrant, crisp acidity and a remarkable depth of flavour.
Uncompromising Craftsmanship
What makes Hattingley Valley a natural fit for Jake Vine's is their unwavering commitment to quality. Every bottle is crafted using the traditional method, undergoing secondary fermentation in the bottle. However, they take their craftsmanship a step further by incorporating oak barrels into their winemaking process; a rare technique in England that adds a signature creamy texture and complex toastiness to their cuvées.
A Pour for Every Occasion
Whether you are raising a glass to a milestone or simply elevating an evening at home, Hattingley Valley offers an exceptional drinking experience:
- The Classic Reserve: An elegant blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier. Expect notes of green apple, nougat, and toasted brioche, balanced by a zesty, refreshing finish.
- The Rosé: A delicate, pale pink sparkling wine bursting with vibrant red fruit flavours, think wild strawberries and raspberries, underpinned by a refined elegance.
- The Blanc de Blancs: A pure expression of Chardonnay, offering extraordinary precision, citrus notes, and a beautifully structured minerality that ages magnificently.
Curated for the Connoisseur
At Jake Vine's, we believe that every bottle should tell a story of dedication, terroir, and excellence. Hattingley Valley doesn't just meet these criteria; it exceeds them, proving that the English countryside is capable of producing world-class luxury.
