How the Quiz Works

The Sparkle for Every Scene quiz is both engaging and insightful, offering a tailored recommendation based on your tastes, occasions, and style. Through a series of thoughtfully curated questions, we explore your preferences—from your ideal celebration atmosphere to your palate’s favoured notes. Are you drawn to the classic sophistication of a Brut, or perhaps the vibrant and celebratory nature of a Rosé? Alternatively, you might find that our luxurious Leslie’s Reserve Gold is your perfect match, with its rich, golden character and refined complexity.

The quiz is designed to make the process of selecting wine both enjoyable and informative, offering a more personalised wine-buying experience for both connoisseurs and casual drinkers alike.

The New Branding: A Nod to Balfour’s Architecture

Alongside the Sparkle for Every Scene campaign, we have recently rebranded the Leslie’s Non-Vintage collection, giving it a fresh and contemporary look that reflects the heart of Balfour Winery. The distinctive slanted label, set at an 11-degree angle, is a subtle homage to the unique architecture of our winery and home at Hush Heath Estate. This elegant new design mirrors the clean lines and modern aesthetic of our buildings, while still honouring the rich history and craftsmanship that goes into every bottle. 

 

The updated branding aligns with our mission to make English sparkling wine both accessible and luxurious, inviting more people to discover and enjoy the refined quality of our wines. It also offers a stylish visual representation of the innovation and creativity that define Balfour Winery. 

How Traditional Method Sparkling Wine is Made

At Balfour Winery, all of our sparkling wines, including the Leslie’s Non-Vintage collection, are crafted using the traditional method (Méthode Traditionnelle), the same process used to produce Champagne. This time-honoured technique involves a second fermentation in the bottle, which creates the wine’s signature bubbles. The wine then undergoes an extended period of maturation, during which the lees (dead yeast cells) contribute to the wine’s complexity, adding flavours of brioche and almond. The result is a refined and elegant sparkling wine, with finesse and depth that is characteristic of the highest-quality sparkling wines.

The traditional method ensures that our sparkling wines develop a fine mousse (bubble texture) and retain a balance of acidity and fruit, making them versatile wines that can be enjoyed on their own or paired with a variety of dishes.
