2018 Curators Cuvee, Artelium, England

Somm Picks

OVERVIEW

Winners of the WineGB 'Best Sparkling Wine' for their first vintage, newcomers Artelium are a husband and wife team producing beautifully clean and flavourful English Sparkling wines from traditional Champagne grapes. We love the 2018 Curators Cuvee so much, its our 'by the glass' offering in our Wandsworth store.

CRITIC REVIEWS

A super concentrated nose. Opulent, polished aromas of lemon peel and aromatic balm, pink lady apple and fresh pastry. The palate is bright and intense; a wicked line of clean acidity keeps it brisk, the well-ripe fruit hangs off it keenly. Crisp pear, subtle tropical fruit notes. Long, tense toasted-brioche finish.

FOOD PAIRING INSPIRATION

The quintessential pairing for the Curators Cuvee is good old British Fish and Chips and who are we to argue with that!

VINTAGE AND WINEMAKING

The classic cuvee is a blend of all three grapes, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier. Fermentation takes place mainly in stainless steel tanks, but sometimes in oak barrels. At Artelium, they use a traditional method of winemaking which means bottling the wine with yeast to encourage a second fermentation. The CO2 produced during this process gives us those all important bubbles. Once complete, we leave the wine to age on its lees for a minimum of four years.

PRODUCER NOTES

Based in Streat, Sussex, Artelium are a husband and wife team who very recently purchased this vineyard land to create award winning English still and sparkling wines.
