Everflyht Wylde
Everflyht Wylde is a fresh and lively English sparkling wine crafted by the Everflyht Estate in the South Downs of Sussex. Rather than following the traditional method, this multi-vintage blend of Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, Pinot Gris, and Chardonnay is produced using the Charmat method. This approach - fermenting the wine in pressurised steel tanks rather than individual bottles - creates a brighter, more immediate fizz that is designed to be opened and enjoyed without waiting for a special occasion. The team at Everflyht set out to make an accessible sparkling wine that celebrates the vibrant energy of cool-climate English fruit. By avoiding extended bottle ageing and following strictly vegan-friendly winemaking practices, they have preserved the pure, fruit-forward aromatics and a clean, uplifting structure. In the glass, it pours a pale pink with silver flecks, opening with distinct aromas of bright orchard fruit and fresh summer berries. On the palate, this sparkling wine is crisp and refreshing, driven by a lively mousse and a clean, approachable finish. It is a brilliant bottle for a spontaneous Tuesday evening or a relaxed weekend lunch, pairing effortlessly with fresh shellfish, Asian-inspired dishes, or lightly spiced canapés.
