master-john-uk: 11th February 2022Buckingham Palace have released a special edition English sparkling wine to celebrate The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.It is a classic blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier, made exclusively from hand-picked fruit grown on vineyards in Kent and West Sussex, and is described as having, .“enticing aromas of rich and honeyed citrus fruit, white peach and hints of sweet spices”, and pairs particularly well with mature English Cheddar cheese, and classic British fish dishes.At £39 a bottle, I do not expect this wine to rival a vintage Champagne, but it will probably go down well at summer garden parties in June, or (speaking personally) for making a Buck’s Fizz for breakfast!Unopened bottles, however, (with the label design based on decorations of The Queen’s Coronation Robes), will undoubtedly become collectors’ items in years to come.The Platinum Jubilee Special Edition English Sparkling Wine can be ordered from the online Royal Collection Shop. -- source link
