Sparkling Wines

Discover a world of Sparkling Wines, each selected for quality and unique qualities. Wines which happen to be fizzy by design. Nobody needs to wait for that special occasion to pop a cork; the fact that these wines are delicious, fresh, invigorating and moderate in alcohol is all the excuse one needs. The popularity of Prosecco is proof positive of this new relationship we have with sparkling wine, but it needn't stop there. With high-quality Cava providing world-beating value, Franciacorta is staking Italy's claim to exceptional quality, and English fizz is capturing more hearts. Coates & Seely In 2008, two old friends, Nicholas Coates and Christian Seely, embarked on a quest. They had between them successful careers in finance and winemaking, an unshakeable belief, and a burning desire to make, one day, a sparkling wine to rival the best in the world. Their adventure drew them to the ancient chalk downlands of Hampshire, in Southern England, to a secluded valley nestling quietly in the hills, where the chalk soils and south-facing slopes presented the perfect terroir. They planted vines and began their craft. A decade later, their award-winning sparkling wines are listed in royal palaces, Michelin-starred restaurants and iconic houses worldwide.

Guido Berlucchi The Berlucchi family winery was founded in 1955 by Guido Berlucchi, Franco Ziliani and Giorgio Lanciani. Together, they transformed Franciacorta into one of Italy’s most prestigious regions for producing sparkling wine. Franciacorta’s renaissance began with Guido Berlucchi’s creation of the first Classic Method wine in 1961. With a pioneering spirit, Berlucchi introduced and promoted expertise not existing in Franciacorta until that point, inspiring many other passionate, forward-thinking producers to follow suit. Together, they transformed this region into the crown jewel of Italian winemaking. From their estate in Borgonato, Guido Berlucchi follows a philosophy of high-quality viticulture that is environmentally sustainable. After nearly 60 successful years at the company's helm, Franco Ziliani passed his expertise onto the next generation, his children Cristina, Arturo and Paolo. In 2022, Guido Berlucchi was awarded the prestigious ‘Winery of the Year’ by Gambero Rosso. Hoffmann & Rathbone Hoffmann & Rathbone is a boutique winery located in England’s Sussex-Weald region. Husband-and-wife Ulrich Hoffmann and Birgit Rathbone founded it passionately about crafting artisanal wines. Ulrich Hoffmann has a wealth of winemaking and viticultural expertise, having spent 22 years working around the world, from the prestigious Rolf-Willy estate in Baden-Württemberg to Chateaux de Fieuzal and Haut-Gardére in Bordeaux, Artadi in Navarra, and Cain Vineyards in the Napa Valley. He may have continued had he not fallen in love with the Sussex countryside and its cool climate, which offers ideal conditions to produce delicious sparkling wines. Following an ethos that the perfect sparkling wine cannot be rushed, they focus on precision and passion and combine traditional methods with a modern, minimalistic approach, creating tiny volumes aged for long periods with care and patience. Hoffmann & Rathbone has proved that English sparkling wine is now on par in terms of quality, with the best sparkling wines in the world, never imitating, but with that quirky English personality of doing things differently.
