Raise a toast to the Queen's Jubilee with her new sparkling wine
Raise a glass of bubbly to the Queen's Platinum Jubilee with her very own vintage sparkling wine.
The Royal Collection Trust, a department of the Royal Household, has released a special edition vintage English sparkling wine.
The classic Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier blend was made exclusively from hand-picked fruit grown on vineyards in Kent and West Sussex, according to the Royal Collection Trust.
Its gold color and aromas of "honeyed citrus fruit, white peach and hints of sweet spices" would be a perfect pairing for English cheddar and British seafood, amidst the Platinum Jubilee celebrations this summer.
The design for the label depicts a crowned EIIR cypher surrounded by golden olive leaves and ears of wheat to symbolize peace and plenty. It was inspired in part by the gold embroidery on Her Majesty’s Robe of Estate, which she wore on Coronation Day, June 2, 1953.
The profits from the sparkling wine and hand-cut champagne flutes that are engraved with an emblem depicting the national flowers of the United Kingdom will go to The Royal Collection Trust charity.
The new sparkling wine retails for £39 per bottle.
