Balfour Leslie's Reserve – NV; Hush Heath Estate; Kent, United Kingdom

British sparkling wines have certainly been getting the “cheers” attention. This bubbly from the UK is a lovely blend of 55% Pinot Noir, 40% Chardonnay, and 5% Pinot Meunier. The fine bubbles intertwined with the pale-yellow color is certainly an eye pleaser, but the impact of rich raspberries and strawberries with a touch of zesty lemon on the nose is quite a delight.  The fresh apple and red fruit notes will provide pleasure to your palate, as well.  With a touch of earthiness and well-balanced acids, this sparkling wine is very pleasant and refreshing. A true delight to sip and enjoy.  Cheers!
