Camel Valley is pale lemon yellow in colour, and the nose is slightly floral with some citrus. A well structured wine with hawthorn, citrus and yeasty flavours and a hint of blackcurrant leaves. The mousse is fine and sustained in the mouth and the glass. Made from Reichensteiner, Rivaner and Pinot Noir grapes; 12-18 months on the lees.

On 17th December 1662, Englishman Christopher Merret presented a paper to the Royal Society on how to 'render wines sparkling' - more than 30 years before the French made their first sparkling Champagne! Camel Valley Sparkling Wine is bottle fermented 'traditional Merret method' of 1662.
Cornish fizz made at the Camel Valley vineyards near Bodmin, which where first planted in 1989. This brilliant sparkling wine shows a smooth and fruity palate with a long round finish. Slow maturing of the grapes provides delicate flavours and a refreshing acidity.
