Gold - CB Brut NV
Outstanding complexity on the nose of rich apricot and toasted citrus with impressive spice and savoury notes from high quality oak and ample reserve wine. Apple palate with well integrated mousse that lingers long the palate. Very accomplished. 
Gold - CB Rosé NV
Emphatic biscuit/toasty notes, with red berry and apple-pear fruit. Bright, lively fruit. Fine, lacy quality to the mousse. Young, explosive, biscuity and long. Delicious wine.

The Real Review 
Silver Ribbon  - CB Brut NV                                                                                  A lemony colour, this promising newcomer is showing a good ripe buttery aroma, suggesting leesy nuttiness and on tasting the same is true with a fine mousse of bubbles exploding on the tongue with notes of butterscotch and juicy ripe peachy fruit, nuanced and understated, all well-balanced and fine-textured, leading to a mouthwateringly tangy finish.
Silver Ribbon - CB Rosé NV                                                                                  Salmon pink in colour, this pink fizz from Hampshire’s Candover Valley, disgorged in August 2022, shows fresh and ripe strawberries in the aroma and on tasting, there’s ripe strawberries and cream fruit flavours emerge from a fine mousse of bubbles with a tart summer pudding fruit element too, all finishing elegantly dry
