Blackbook GMF English Sparkling

Blackbook GMF English Sparkling

A distinctive English sparkling wine from Blackbook Winery in Battersea, made from Seyval Blanc grown at Yew Tree Vineyard in Oxfordshire. Citrus and gooseberry meet white pepper and savoury lees character, with fermentation in steel and old Burgundy barrels adding texture. Traditional-method but left undisgorged, it is lively, characterful and deliberately unconventional.

Product Details

Fresh and energetic, with citrus and gooseberry at the centre alongside white pepper and a gently savoury, yeasty character. There is plenty of fizz, but also real texture and depth from barrel fermentation and extended contact with the lees. Bright acidity keeps the richer elements in check, making this an expressive and unusually characterful English sparkling wine.

How It's Made

GMF is made from Seyval Blanc grown at Yew Tree Vineyard in Oxfordshire. The grapes are whole-bunch pressed, with the free-run juice fermented in a combination of stainless steel and ex-Burgundy barrels. The wine undergoes a second fermentation in bottle using the traditional method and is then left undisgorged, retaining the lees in the bottle beneath its crown cap. The result combines the precision and persistent bubbles of traditional-method sparkling wine with the cloudy, textured character associated with col fondo wines.

About Blackbook Winery

Blackbook Winery
Battersea, London England Founded 2017

Blackbook Winery is an urban winery based beneath a railway arch in Battersea, London. Founded in 2017 by Sergio and Lynsey Verrillo, it works with carefully selected English growers to produce distinctive small-batch wines, with cool-climate Chardonnay and Pinot Noir at the heart of the project.

Winemaker Sergio Verrillo trained in Viticulture and Oenology at Plumpton College before working harvests in England, California, Burgundy, South Africa and New Zealand. At Blackbook, he combines traditional winemaking with a minimalist approach, using indigenous yeasts and low sulphur where possible to produce wines that express the character of the fruit rather than conforming to a single house style.
