Oriana is a name that signals the creative side of English sparkling—winemakers experimenting with varietal composition and dosage to craft distinctive house styles. Oriana Golden Spur is a pre-release of the 2022 vintage - which is showing great maturity relative to its 2 years on lees.
The 2022 vintage was a spectacular year marked by the hottest and driest summer in recent history. This led to high quality, clean fruit with exceptional flavour and high yields. Conditions really were perfect for the growing of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.”
In the glass, expect bright English fruit (apple, citrus), a touch of white flowers, and a pastry‑tinged mid‑palate. The emphasis is on drinkability and lift: lively, engaging, and food‑friendly.
