This sparkling wine stood out for its clarity of purpose: it comes from one estate, one vision. Woodchester Valley grow all their grapes on their own vineyards in the Cotswolds — no external fruit, no compromise — and that single-estate approach gives the wine a distinct identity you don’t often find in England.

The Cotswold Classic 2022 blends Seyval Blanc, Pinot Blanc, Chardonnay and Pinot Gris, made in the traditional method. It offers bright acidity, fresh fruit and that subtle mineral signature of the Cotswold limestone. On the nose you’ll find baked apple and brioche; on the palate there’s crisp citrus and a whisper of salinity, culminating in a long, satisfying finish.It’s English sparkling wine at its best — refined, confident, with serious craft behind it. And on a recent trip with friends, we found ourselves ordering it everywhere we could; it’s one of those wines you keep coming back to.

In both our Signature and Celebration boxes, it brings a bottle that truly marks the moment — sophisticated, proudly British, and unquestionably worthy of the occasion.

Established in 2007, Woodchester Valley is a family owned boutique vineyard and winery in the South Cotswolds producing white, rosé, red and sparkling wines from 58 acres.

Planted on the limestone soils of the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Woodchester Valley is a family owned vineyard and winery, established by the Shiner Family in 2007. With 58 acres under vine across three sites within the Stroud Valleys, they grow and unify grapes exclusively from the Woodchester Valley Estate.

Tasting Notes:

Cotswold Classic is a blend of Seyval Blanc, Pinot Blanc & Pinot Gris, but for the first time with the addition of Chardonnay. As usual there is a bright refreshing acidity, beautiful fruit and a sense of fun, but this release is all grown up.

There is more concentration, more complexity & a perfect balance. The nose shows the most wonderful baked apple & brioche aromas with a touch of lemon peel. The palate is well-balanced with ripe apple pie flavours combined with citrus notes. It has a touch of salinity and a long, complex and satisfying finish.

Food Pairings:

A delicious crowd-pleaser, this is perfect apéritif but also works well with a wide range of foods, especially a crab ceviché, salted edamame beans & fresh poké bowls with a lime dressing. Why not even try it with an avocado & lime prawn cocktail.
