E68 - Ambriel Sparkling Wines UK


Listen Later

For Episode 68, we pop the cork on a sparkling conversation with Wendy Outhwaite, co-founder of Ambriel, an English sparkling wine producer with a serious commitment to quality—and a playful side to match. Nestled in the rolling hills of West Sussex, Ambriel crafts wines with a “palate, not wallet” approach, letting patience and precision take the lead (some bottles rest on lees for over six years before they make their grand debut). Wendy takes us behind the scenes of Ambriel’s journey—from a five-year quest to find the perfect vineyard to embracing greensand terroir that’s as rare as it is remarkable. We chat about hand-picking, blind blending, and why the Outhwaites refuse to let their wines leave the estate until they’re truly ready. And of course, we dive into Ambriel’s spirited branding—think corks stamped with ‘Huzzah!’ and a name that gives a nod to angels, ambrosia, and a certain quip from Pope Gregory. With Wendy’s razor-sharp wit and infectious passion, this episode is a proper toast to English fizz. So grab a glass, settle in, and let’s raise a hearty Huzzah! to the future of British bubbles.
