English Wine Brand Artelium Awarded 97 Points From Wine Enthusiast, Placing Their Wine in Top 0.5% Worldwide

Sussex Sparkling Wine - Artelium’s Curators Cuvée 2019

Global Recognition for English Wine Brand Artelium Wine Estate

Artelium Wine Estate is delighted to announce that their Curators Cuvée 2018, has been awarded an extraordinary 97 points by Wine Enthusiast, one of the world’s most respected and influential wine publications.

Wine Enthusiast, one of the most influential voices in the industry, has awarded an extraordinary 97 points to Artelium’s Curators Cuvée 2018, a distinction reserved for fewer than 0.5% of the 24,000 wines it reviews annually. 

Christina Pickard, from Wine Enthusiast described the Artelium Curators Cuvée 2018 as, “a delightfully opulent nose of honeyed pear, baked apple, terra cotta and a whisper of something roasted and nutty. They all rocket their way to a palate that soars with tongue-tingling, mineral-y acidity and fine, persistent beads of bubbles, with flavor and texture like red apple skins that pulses to a seemingly endless finish. English fizz at its finest”

“As an importer focused solely on England, this recognition is immensely gratifying and reinforces exactly why I started this business,” said Kate Hamrick Foskett, Founder of Bubbles of Britain. “Consumers and sommeliers in the U.S. are increasingly curious about what’s next in the world of wine. A 97-point score sends a strong message: English wine isn’t just emerging — it’s competing at the very top.”
