English sparkling wine presents the most compelling of the Champagne substitutes, with a similar quality and style. This wine from Nyetimber, labelled as “Classic Cuvée”, has aromas of minerals, stones, lees and yoghurt. The palate is dry with high acidity, a frothy mousse and a crisp, chalky finish. The alcohol is a modest 12.0. Drink anytime you would drink Champagne. Review Rating: Very Good (★★★★, 90 points). Website: Nyetimber. Tasted: April 2025. Like: Subscribe.
