Vintage English sparkling wine, Annie Power Cuvée, launched to mark 10 years since champion racehorse made history at Cheltenham.
A decade after one of the most memorable moments in Cheltenham Festival history, Annie Power’s incredible Champion Hurdle victory in 2016 is being celebrated in a unique way – with the launch of Annie Power Cuvée 21, a small-production English sparkling wine created by her owner, Susannah Ricci.
Crafted entirely from grapes grown at Sussannah Ricci’s Yotes Court Vineyard in Kent, Annie Power Cuvée 21 is a sparkling tribute to a mare whose brilliance, resilience, and charisma captured the imagination of racing fans worldwide. The wine – the first vintage cuvée from Yotes Court – reflects the qualities that made Annie Power a legend: precision, elegance, and an exhilarating finish.
This traditional method sparkling wine is a blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir with a small addition of Pinot Gris to add floral finesse. Matured on lees for three years to develop depth and complexity, it has fresh notes of yellow plum and candied apple, layered with a delicate autolytic expression of toasted breadcrumbs. The palate is full bodied, and vibrant with a fine mousse and a long apricot finish.
