ZODO MV (2017)

ZODO MV (2017)

  • The next vintage of ZODO will be released in early 2026

It is not easy to make a zero dosage sparkling wine in England's marginal climate.

However, we realised this long-held dream of ours in 2019, when we noticed that, as it aged, the extraordinary 2014 vintage of The Trouble With Dreams didn't require any sugar additions. After a long period of lees ageing, it was already beautifully balanced, composed, and flavourful.

Astonishingly generous and open, experiencing ZODO is a bit like biting into the juiciest Granny Smith apple. Vibrant and refreshing, it fans out with chalky minerality and a twist of lemon on the finish. A sommelier favourite for its gastronomic properties, it is served by the glass on tasting menus in some of the world's most prestigious restaurants.

ZODO was named by wine critic Hugh Johnson as one of his top ten desert island wines.

FOOD PAIRING

Focused, mineral, salty, and precise – in its first flush of youth, is there a sparkling wine better suited to oysters? Salty or cheesy snacks also work brilliantly.

With a little bottle age, ZODO unveils rich layers of creamy fruit, alongside notes of mushroom and grilled nuts, making it perfectly suited to more luxurious dishes, such smoked salmon and caviar.

WHAT THE CRITICS SAY

“Toasty and savoury on the nose, with yoghurt, lemon tart and marzipan complexity. Zingy acidity leads to a textured, generous palate of lemon curd, golden apple and white pepper spices. Complex and long, exuding crushed hazelnuts and red apple peel on a saline finish.” 96 Points, Sylvia Wu, Decanter

“A killer English sparkling wine. It has a very intense, delineated bouquet of Granny Smith apple, crushed stone and sea cave aromas. Exquisitely balanced with fine weight and density, yet paradoxically seems nimble and light on its feet. Razor-sharp acidity and just a light twist of sour lemon on the finish. Outstanding." 94 Points, Neal Martin, Vinous
