Splendid golden apple, pear and zingy lemon fragrance softly drapes over a backdrop of baked caramel biscuits. Poised and stirring with silky bubbles and mineral length. ( 7/17/26)

The outstanding NV Hambedon ‘Classic Cuvee’ Sparkling Wine is another dense and rich edition of this wine that was aged on the lees for 35 months. Composed of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Pinot Meunier sourced from South East-facing chalk slopes of Windmill Down, this offers heady melon and citrus oil fruits that combine with shades of sourdough bread and baking spices on the palate.
Winemaker Notes
Our Classic Cuvée is a blend of all 3 traditional grapes, aged on lees for 4 years. On the palate the wine is assertive, dry yet also energetic with apple-fresh personality and richer notes of toasted sourdough on the finish.
Hambledon Classic Cuvée is produced exclusively from our own estate on the South East facing chalk slopes of Windmill Down, in the historic village of Hambledon.
