'Inspiration' Blanc de Blancs, Fox & Fox 2014

Something of a curiosity, but a delicious one, this is from the award-winning stable of Jonica and Gerard Fox in Sussex and is the only sparkling Pinot Gris currently made in the UK, using fruit from their Lakestreet vineyard. The Pinot Gris, which makes up nearly all the blend, has a subtly honeyed, rounded character while the touch of Chardonnay provides a lively finish with some citrus and ginger. This a beautifully made wine, all the more remarkable when you consider that their first experimental vineyard at Hobdens was only planted in 2004.
