New fizz on the block – Boco by House Coren is a new sparkling wine made in England
A new sparkling wine has burst onto the English wine scene, made using the Charmat method and one of the first of its kind in the UK.
Boco by House Coren, is a high-quality Charmat method sparkling wine made in Sussex using top-quality English grapes. Just like the method used in Prosecco, the secondary fermentation that occurs under pressure creates carbon dioxide and gives the wine its natural fizz. By fermenting in a tank rather than a bottle, the wine can be released earlier, so it is bursting with fruit-driven flavours yet still showcases the crispness of English-grown grapes.
What makes Boco different from Prosecco which uses the Glera grape, is its use of high-quality English grapes and premium wine-making processes to elevate beyond your usual fizz.
Recent years have seen English sparkling wine grow in popularity but the majority of these are made using the traditional method, where the secondary fermentation is done in the bottle i.e how champagne is created. Boco by House Coren is one of the very first Charmat method wines to be made in the UK using English grown grapes.
House Coren, the creators of the wine, wanted to release a Charmat method wine as it believes the style showcases the bright, fruity freshness found in English grapes and to offer a more affordable alternative to the traditional method sparkling wines already on the market.
