You don’t have to be a fancy château to win great awards. London Cru were the first urban winery in London, and since its launch in 2013 its wines have brought in accolades aplenty. Tucked away down a cobbled street in Fulham, London Cru operates from an old Victorian warehouse which was once a gin distillery. Today this historic building houses a state-of-the-art winery, which has a focus on keeping things green and local.
Sourcing grapes exclusively from England, they blend vibrant Chardonnay and zesty Pinot Gris with other great regional varieties for a bright drink. As a canned spritz its refreshingly fizzy and makes for a guilt-free sip at 5.5%. You can enjoy it on the go, or if at home grab a glass with some ice and a sprig of mint.

Even if you think you’re not a fan of a medium-sweet style of fizz, this is one you must try. It’s full of refreshing bubbly charm with classic Moscato hints of rose petal and grape that makes your mouth water.
It’s a terrific glassful on its own, anytime of the day, perfect with a slice of cake (Madeira or lemon and almond perhaps) or fruity pudding. Moscato is of course the same as France’s Muscat, one of the most aromatic varieties in the world, only challenged to that title by Gewurztraminer! Asti is the finest area of Italy’s Piedmont for the style and we think this is the best we’ve tasted. It’ll bring thoughts of spring to mind whatever the time of year. Embrace the sweetness and freshness – this fizz is a delight. Chill well.
