"2018 was hailed as England's “miracle vintage”, rocketing the country to a new level of sparkling wine stardom. From the chalky soils of the South Downs, BdB has long been the diva style of Wiston's stellar range, and for good reason. Showing some mushroomy character, it's beautifully complex, with layers of distinctive aromas, from thyme to green apple, lemon brioche and nougat. The acidity has a distinctively English edge to it, rolling over the tongue like cool river water over rocks. There's a pithy grapefruit bite. Poised and still remarkably youthful overall, with a subtle generosity that makes it remarkable versatile food pairing but utterly delicious now. — Christina Pickard, Wine Enthusiast 1/25
