Exton Park Sea-Aged English Sparkling Wine Tasting

Join us in the St. James’s Room for a tasting which will provide a rare preview of “60 Below” – the first ever sea-aged English sparkling wine, alongside it’s traditionally aged sister wine, “60 Above”.

Both wines are 2014 Blanc de Blancs vintages from Exton Park’s single vineyard, with one vital difference.

Each have been aged in two different locations spanning 60m below and 60m above sea level, in a first for English winemaking innovation.

Exton Park’s Head Winemaker Corinne Seely will also present a very special vintage in honour of the vineyard’s iconic founder, Malcolm Isaac. The Malcolm Isaac Blanc de Blancs 2011, launching with a very limited volume in March 2022, was Corinne’s first wine created for Exton Park and has had 7 years on lees and 2 years under cork.

Don’t miss this exclusive opportunity to sample one of the English wine industry’s oldest vintages available to buy in 2022.

We will be joined by special guest Denis Drouin from Amphoris ‘Underwater Cellar’, who work to immerse bottles in selected sites at sea in specially designed racks over 60m deep in the Atlantic and the Mediterranean.

Surely a tasting not to miss.
