Botham & Balfour Legend Series – Sir Geoff Hurst Cuvée 66
£30.00
‘They think it’s all over… it is now!‘ shouted the World Cup Final commentator Kenneth Wolstenholme as Geoff Hurst pummelled the winning goal into the top of the Wembley net against Germany. So the immortal lines were etched into football folklore. Especially as we have been waiting ever since for an encore!
60 years on who knows, but it cannot stop us celebrating the advent of Sir Geoffs English sporting sparkling wine from Balfour. We can toast in hope more than expectation but our own history cannot be taken away.
In the words of the Legend himself:
“When we won it was such a huge occasion and meant so much to the team, management and country and I really hope England can do it again this summer. As we approach the 60th Anniversary all the memories are coming back and I can feel the excitement that only a football world cup can bring to a nation. When Beefy said he wanted to mark the occasion I jumped at the chance, what a great idea and unique way to celebrate, and to be the first Legend to launch his new Legends Series, it’s an honour! I have learnt so much about English wine making and had a great time too! Let’s hope that we get the chance to all pop open the bottles this summer!”
Could this be the year that football… finally… comes… home!

Description
Cuvée 66 is a celebration of craft and character. Made in the traditional method, it brings together aromas of fresh citrus – lemon zest, grapefruit, and a hint of lime blossom – layered over crisp green orchard fruits like apple and pear, with a touch of brioche from time on the lees.
On the palate, it is finely structured with vibrant acidity and a delicate, persistent mousse. The core of citrus and orchard fruit is complemented by a pronounced mineral streak – chalky and saline – giving the wine both tension and elegance.
The finish is long, clean, and refreshing, with lingering hints of lemon peel and wet stone.
