.. Cuvée 002

The second release of Yarn, the cult English sparkling, arrived this month. Very very limited stocks where available, as they only made one barrel. Selosse, Agrapart, Prevost, Egly-Ouriet…when Tommy Grimshaw and his old mate Ali Fraquelli talk about the wines that inspire them, they reel off a list of the kings of Grower Champagne. Yarn is the ambitious English wine project from Tommy (head winemaker at Langham in Dorset) and Ali (assistant winemaker at Jim Barry Wines in South Australia), that applies the approach of a top quality Grower Champagne to English wine, with no compromises.

Yarn only release 1,000 bottles, with the fruit coming from a single grower, selected each year according to the vintage. As with the finest Grower Champagnes, winemaking is oxidative and low intervention, with wild yeast fermentations, oak ageing, and no fining or filtration.

The resulting wine is low pressure, with great richness and depth, tempered by a natural freshness! bravo el Edition 002. Yarn is one of the most exciting wine projects in England, to date.
