Renowned for her work as head winemaker at Hattingley Valley and as a consultant to multiple English winemaking projects, Emma Rice needs little introduction to those following the English wine scene.
Now embarking on a new journey as an independent consultant, the award-winning winemaker has recently released her first limited-edition sparkling wines under her own name.
And they are rather special: created during her early years making wine in the UK, the batch of her 2009 vintage sparkling wine from the South Downs was, by happy coincidence, left on lees – half upside down and half on their sides – for 13 years.
Released in pairs, the En Point (a play on en pointe in French) and Sur Lattes duo showcase a fascinating diversity of texture and flavour.
Dive into the story behind them in Decanter’s exclusive report.
