Today English fizz is recognised as “a world-class product” (Decanter). As usual, the Laithwaite family have led the way, with Barbara’s Trophy winning Wyfold and Henry’s Harrow & Hope. Until 2010 Henry had been making reds in Oz and Bordeaux. On his return to England, he and his wife Kaye planted a 6.2 hectare vineyard in Marlow with Chardonnay and both Pinots and built a new winery in 2013. Henry had some of the best names advising him – Tony Jordan of Australia’s Moët et Chandon and the UK’s late King of Fizz Mike Roberts. Despite severe spring frost, 2017 was a great vintage with a fine summer. Harvest was one of the earliest on record. Part barrel fermented and with an extra year of lees ageing, the 2017 is rich, complex and elegant.
