    • Press quotes
    … on opening, whoosh, massive foam, a breasting of the finishing tape, though the mousse settled down quickly to give good bubbles. On the palate, balanced acidity with lemon notes, with a hint of biscuit and toast on the finish. It will give you a good run for the money. (2005 vintage) Graham Gendall Norton, The Church of England Newspaper, 8 August 2008

    Waitrose customer reviews
    I purchased my Merret just over a month ago and have so far tasted three bottles. Just one was slightly below par with a foistiness on the nose at first which disappeared with time and the taste also soon recovered its poise. Could not detect problem on cork. I am in the process of ordering some more online as your shops are slightly far for casual shopping. I like to show my friends that English producers can make good sparkling. ML, Huddersfield
