Harrow & Hope
Harrow & Hope produces sparkling wines from England, working with the country's signature varieties. The Blanc de Blancs, made from Chardonnay, and the Blanc de Noirs demonstrate the winery's focus on traditional méthode champenoise techniques. The Brut Rosé, built from Pinot Meunier and Pinot Noir, rounds out the core range. English sparkling wine has emerged as a serious category, driven by cool-climate conditions that favor high acidity and mineral precision in bottle-fermented wines. Wine Advocate and Decanter have both rated Harrow & Hope's releases, with the Blanc de Blancs and Blanc de Noirs each achieving 91.3-point averages, while the Brut Rosé scored 90.7. The winery's output reflects the technical demands of sparkling winemaking in a marginal climate—where precision in harvest timing and cellar work determines whether a vintage succeeds.
