While the quality of much Spanish sparkling wine is a given (see my earlier post) they do not really attempt to challenge the French in the higher price range, where bottles of rose champagne cost two, three or four times that of a decent cava. So, step forward an Englishman, hotelier Richard Balfour-Lynn, (left) who is producing a rose in Kent that, in taste terms alone competes with the best French can do, even if he can only make a fraction of the volume. Hush Heath Balfour Brut Rose is a terrific celebration drink, which should be supported by everyone who loves good wine.
