Celebrate Your Mum This Mother's Day with Langham Sparkling Wine

Nothing says celebration quite like the bold, iconic sound of a cork popping out of a bottle of sparkling wine. 

And what better way to celebrate your mum and everything she does for you than an elegant bottle of Sparkling Rosé from one of England's finest wine estates?

The Langham Wine Estate is a single vineyard estate nestled in the beautiful Dorset countryside. Taking the greatest of care and pride in their craft, they hand harvest the grapes and take a low intervention approach to their wine-making. 

Not only that but in 2020 the Langham Wine Estate won the coveted Best Sparkling Wine Producer award at the International Wine and Spirit Competition (IWSC), beating some of the best French champagne houses as well as sparkling wines from around the rest of the world. The previous year, the award was won by Veuve Clicquot.

Langham Sparkling Rosé is delicious on its own and is also exceptional with food being rich and open with a dry finish. It's elegant and complex with noses of raspberry and pomegranate. Made using the same Traditional Method as Champagne, it has a minimum of 24 months ageing on the lees and a further 6-12 months ageing on cork after disgorgement. The rich sunset pink colour makes it a perfect gift for Mother's Day.

It costs £34.95 and is available directly from Langham Wine Estate and can be purchased with a beautiful wooden gift box for just £5.45.

Swedish-Owned Sussex Wine Wins Trophy in Top Wine Competition

Busi Jacobsohn is an English Sparkling Wine producer in the High Weald of East Sussex, and is making dazzling wines and all from estate-grown fruit.

Today the debut vintage of Busi Jacobsohn's Blanc de Noirs 2018 has been announced as the winner of the Sparkling Wine Trophy at the Independent English Wine Awards (IEWA) 2023.

Chair of the judges and Master of Wine Liam Steevenson MW described it as "Absolutely stunning and perhaps the best fizz from anywhere I have tasted this year."

The Blanc de Noirs 2018 also performed brilliantly at this year's International Wine Challenge, bagging another Gold medal there.

Estate owner Susannah Busi Jacobsohn, when asked how this achievement ranked on a scale of 1 to 10, said simply "11"!

Susanna and her husband Douglas Jacobsohn planted the vineyard in 2015, and since then have been winning many awards for their wines. But this latest trophy is the greatest to date.

Busi Jacobsohn Blanc de Noirs 2018  £48, is available at Yapp.co.uk, Harvey Nichols, busijacobsohn.com.
