Coates and Seely

In 2008, two old friends Nicholas Coates and Christian Seely, embarked on a quest to one day make a sparkling wine to rival the best in the world. 

Their adventure drew them to the ancient chalk downlands of Hampshire, Southern England, to a secluded valley nestled in the hills, where the chalk soils and south-facing slopes presented the perfect terroir. They planted vines and began their craft. A decade later, their sparkling wines are listed in royal palaces, Michelin-starred restaurants and iconic houses around the world, they've won Gold Medals and Trophies in all of the leading national and international wine competitions.
