Product Details
Description
A funky, unfiltered, and spritzy take on sparkling wine, Figgie Daniel 2023 is an exciting Col Fondo-style bubbly that brings a refreshing twist to traditional Prosecco. Made in the historic Col Fondo method, where the lees remain in the bottle for natural texture and complexity, this wine is zesty, lively, and full of personality. Expect bright green apple, lemon rind, and elderflower on the nose, followed by a palate bursting with citrus, soft brioche, and a touch of yeasty funk. Light, refreshing, and unapologetically fun, give it a gentle shake before serving to fully enjoy its cloudy, textured goodness!
History and Winemaking
Produced by Sandridge Barton, one of England’s most exciting natural and low-intervention wineries, Figgie Daniel harks back to the original way Prosecco was made before mass production. This Col Fondo-style sparkling is unfiltered, unfined, and bottle-fermented, allowing the lees to remain in the bottle for extra texture and depth. As natural sparkling wines regain popularity, this wine delivers an authentic, vibrant experience for those seeking something adventurous and a little wild.
Tasting Notes
Lively and fresh, with aromas of green apple, citrus zest, and elderflower, alongside a subtle yeasty note from the lees. The palate is zesty and crisp, offering flavours of lemon peel, pear, and delicate brioche, finishing with a light spritz and refreshing acidity.
Pairings
A perfect aperitif, this funky Col Fondo bubbly pairs beautifully with fresh seafood, salty snacks, and soft cheeses like burrata or ricotta. It’s also a fantastic match for light pasta dishes, sushi, or classic fish and chips. Serve chilled, and for the full experience, gently shake the bottle before pouring to enjoy the natural texture.
