  We compared a
  - Hattingley Valley NV from Hampshire
  - South Ridge 2012 from Sussex
  - Sainsburys 2010 from Surrey
  The Wine Society now has the Ridgeview as their English sparkler. The Sainsburys is a Denbies.
  The Hattingley had the most fruit, light, not a huge nose, reminded me very much of a Nyetimber. Very enjoyable.
  The South Ridge was the favourite for a third of the group - fizzier and gassy, not as much depth as the others
  The Denbies we expected to show the most age but was in fact quite pale. Nice fruit still but not a long aftertaste.
  All 3 are ready now. No need to keep any longer.
  English fizz is so strong now.

  Very pale. Clean nose.
  Good fruit on the palate though not as well rounded as some other English fizz. A good Summer bubbly.
