Britpop by Alex James
Alex James, bass player for Blur, cheese maker and the curator of one of the UK’s favourite music, food and drinks events - The Big Feastival – has launched his collection of English sparkling wine, Britpop.
Britpop Brut is a classic blend of Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay. Grown on chalk soils, with floral, peach notes and a nutty, biscuity complexity, James found it beat some of the world’s finest Champagne in a blind taste test when he was looking for the ideal sparkling wine to add to his range. Since the success of his first launch of Britpop, James has expanded the collection to include an Elderflower Spritz, and a Somerset Cider Brandy.
“These are the golden years of British winemaking and we’ve knocked it out the park with this one – a home-grown world-beater, perfect for good times and any occasion. It makes a great aperitif or celebration wine, paired with seafood, charcuterie and particularly cheese: serve chilled or over ice when it’s really sunny.”
Alex James
“Britpop galivants along, high-fiving every taste bud it encounters, and it does this with style, infectious excitement and, hidden beneath the surface, extraordinary skill, too."
