Tasting Notes
A sensational small production release from Danbury Ridge. Just released, this first edition is absolutely gorgeous. Being fuller, more golden in colour and flavour, with notes of malt, and baked apple pie, buttery pastry, with layers of fruit and complexity, with some delicious oxidative notes, with a fine core of acidity, it is rather different from the other English fizzes we know, which are crisper. Although this is still completely dry. At just over 4g/l dosage, that puts it in the extra brut category (if Champagne) and make it drier that most English sparklings. A triumph!
