English Sparkling Wines: A Quintessentially British Affair

Furleigh Estate is 85 acres of vineyard, lakes and grazing land surrounded by woodland. The area is teaming with wildlife; buzzards fly overhead; deer, pheasants and partridge roam the vineyard, while heron fish regularly from the lakes to which the resident geese return each Spring.

Enjoy one of their quintessentially English sparkling wines as an aperitif or with food pairings outlined below. You can purchase your next bottle with us in-store or from our online shop.
