Neil Ibbotson had wanted to make a classic sparkling wine ever since he first grew grapes back in 1978. However in 2012, when his mum Dawn was about to turn 100, the decision was made to finally do it. The result is a biscuity, bottled version of its namesake. Vibrant, slightly nutty and packed with personality, it’s a finely-tuned fizz honouring the life of a (now 102 year old) legendary lady.
Sip with: Mexicali fish tacos.
