BREAKY BOTTOM English Sparkling Seyval Blanc - Minnie Charlotte
2019 • 750ml • 12.0%
- England > Sussex
- Seyval Blanc
- Salted almonds
This sparkling Seyval Blanc are truly underrated, and begs the question why we don't seem more all over the place. There is a lovely tension, with linear acidity that opens up with notes of crunchy green apple and umami!
COLIN'S NOTE
From the OG of sparkling Seyval Blanc - Peter Hall at Breaky Bottom Estate. One of the great characters in the UK wine industry who sadly passed away just days before the 2025 harvest. Santé Peter! Here's to you and duly missed.
IN SHORT
Cult English sparkling from a true original and legend
BREAKY BOTTOM
Breaky Bottom is the stuff of English wine legend. Picture a secret valley straight out of Tolkien, and one man, Peter Hall, stubbornly making sparkling wine there since the 70s while everyone else thought he was mad. Turns out he was right. Breaky Bottom has since been crowned an English icon; picking up more critical nods than we can count. he champions grapes, like Seyval Blanc, where others follow trends. A true slice of English Wine history.
