GIFT GUIDE
SAFFRON GRANGE A family-run vineyard on the outskirts of Saffron Walden, Saffron Grange makes a range of premium English sparkling wines. With 15 acres of planted vines (and plans for significant further expansion), the vineyard is a labour of love for the Edwards family, who have spent nearly a decade perfecting the vines, terroir and techniques to achieve exceptional- quality grapes, which are winning praise from wine experts and locals alike. The range includes classic cuvée, a blend of 50% pinot noir, 35% chardonnay and 15% pinot meunier, which has notes of strawberries and cream, a hint of brioche and a long, refined finish (£32), and a sparkling rosé, with a delicate, salmon pink colour with vibrant red fruits on the nose
(£30). All wines are available to buy at saffrongrange.com and other local suppliers, including Grape Britannia in Cambridge.
