From our cellar to the State Banquet Table

A Royal Occasion for our Cuvée 2016

Every now and then, a wine finds itself in truly remarkable company. We were thrilled, and more than a little proud, that our Cuvée 2016 was served at the recent State Banquet, poured alongside a selection of some of the world’s most distinguished wines.

While it is well known that the President does not drink, we hope our wine was enjoyed by the many esteemed guests who raised their glasses during this extraordinary evening.

This moment is especially poignant for us, as the allocation delivered to their cellar was among the very last of our 2016 Vintage. The Cuvée 2016 has always been a special wine – being the 10th anniversary following the planting of the original vineyard. It is expressive, elegant, and a true reflection of the vineyard’s character that year.

So if you happen to have a bottle tucked away on your wine rack or resting quietly in your cellar, you can now pour a glass knowing that you’re enjoying a wine that’s been sipped at one of the most prestigious tables in the land. In other words, with Cuvée 2016, you really can drink like royalty.

Richard Goring said: “It is an incredible honour to have had our wine chosen for the toast at the King’s State Banquet. These are not moments of control but of gift and of pride to be able to represent what England can produce. To sit alongside other wines of such distinction is a real privilege and we feel truly grateful to our team, past and present, and our community who have enabled Wiston Sparkling wine to reach this point.”

And while the 2016 has now all but disappeared our Cuvée 2020 is here; vibrant, refined and ready to enjoy. Why not secure a bottle (or two) today and create your own special occasion at home?
