Located in Dorset, South West England, the Bride Valley Estate was founded by renowned writer and wine merchant Steven Spurrier and his wife Arabella. The vines were planted on a limestone soil that is surprisingly similar to that of Champagne, and the vineyard is distributed in a strategic amphitheatrical position overlooking the village of Litton Cheney. The grapes harvested on the estate are then vinified by winemaker Ian Edwards in his Furleigh Estate cellar.
The wine is a blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier grapes sourced from slopes facing south where the climatic conditions favor perfect ripening and exceptional freshness. The finished wine is left on its lees for 24 hours.
Its color is lemon yellow with pale nuances. The perlage is persistent. On the nose, the wine reveals pleasant aromas of fresh stone fruit and pear, apples, and white flowers. On the palate, it is fresh and mineral, juicy and lively. The long and persistent finish recalls notes of citrus fruit. It is an elegant and well-balanced wine that can age beautifully for a decade and works deliciously with rich mixed salads, seafood, fish, and fried appetizers. It also makes a classy aperitif.

overall i had a positive experience, they have a wide range of wines, some which are hard to find anywhere else - the main reason i still buy from them, plus the discounts are fair and often, but... their codes for the first offer only works at the first offer, which if fine, but then why would you send me the voucher in each package i order, why spam me on the email and every time i log in on the website? this is really bothering me... then their rewards points system is useless, first of all because you only get peanuts even after spending €250 on an order, but even those peanuts will expire if you won't order again soon, which is unfair, to say the least... and lastly, if you get a corked wine, a wine with any deffect or a wine that leaked (my last order contained a bottle of $100 Caymus Cabernet with a leaking cork, which made the wine tasted cooked and flat), they have no procedure put in place for you to replace or return the wine or to get a refund or replacement - none, which is a big no no no for any wine collector... so all in all i give it 3 stars for now
