Sugrue - South Downs - 2019

We Say:
A benchmark English sparkling wine from the South Downs, crafted by Dermot Sugrue. The 2019 vintage of The Trouble With Dreams blends Chardonnay and Pinot Noir from three chalk-rich vineyards in Sussex. Fermented in a mix of old Burgundy barrels and stainless steel, it delivers piercing aromas of citrus peel, white pear, and sourdough crust. The palate is racy and mineral-driven, with white stone fruit, salted lime, and subtle leesy complexity. Fine mousse and a long, crystalline finish make this a wine of elegance and tension. Perfect with oysters, crab, or fish and chips.
