If you wanted to get to know us, this is exactly how we'd introduce ourselves: it's those effervescent moments with friends that are so easy to get lost in, the unrestrained laughter of a long-overdue catch-up, captured and corked or simply for a Tuesday night where a glass of sparkling is required.

What it means for Hambledon...
This is a significant moment for the estate. The English Cuvée opens the door to a much broader audience, introducing more people, in more places, to Hambledon and to English sparkling wine as a whole. Lucy, our Head of UK Wine Sales says why it means so much to us:
"The English Cuvée is a really important wine for us because it gives Hambledon an opportunity to welcome a much broader audience into both the estate and the English sparkling wine category.
The style is deliberately open, generous and immediately approachable, with ripe orchard fruit, freshness and a lovely roundness and ease. It has all the quality and provenance we expect from Hambledon, but in a style designed to be enjoyed without overthinking the occasion.
Commercially, that makes it incredibly exciting. This is a wine with the potential to reach more people, in more places and on more occasions – a genuine entry point to Hambledon that we hope will encourage people to discover the rest of our range and, more broadly, everything that English sparkling wine has to offer."
