{"product_id":"sugrue-zodo-england-nv-75cl","title":"Sugrue, #ZODO, England NV - 75cl","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe hashtag is a joke about the name, and the name is the whole point: ZODO is zero dosage. No sugar added at disgorgement, nothing to round off the edges or paper over a gap. It is the most exposed way to bottle a sparkling wine, and only worth attempting if the fruit can carry it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDermot Sugrue can. He made the wines at Nyetimber and then at Wiston before setting up on his own in Sussex, working chalk that sits on the same Cretaceous seam running under Champagne. Twenty years in, he is one of the two or three names English sparkling wine gets judged by.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWithout dosage the wine is lean and very direct. Green apple and lemon pith first, then the bready depth that comes from long ageing on lees, and a chalk note running underneath the whole thing. Fine mousse, high acidity, and a finish so dry it leaves your mouth watering rather than puckered.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt £64 this is a serious bottle, and not a crowd-pleaser. If the table likes its fizz soft and fruity, open something else and keep this for yourself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to Serve\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e8 to 10°C. A white wine glass, not a flute — with zero dosage the aromatics need somewhere to go. Give it ten minutes out of the fridge before pouring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere to Drink It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNoble Rot, where a zero-dosage English fizz will be properly understood. Bentley's, for the oysters. Brat in Shoreditch, if the grill is going.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFood Pairings\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNative oysters, straight up. Or brown crab on toast, where the acidity does the work a lemon would.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"House of Decant","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53674822566212,"sku":"HO17403BNV","price":63.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0858\/2551\/9940\/files\/HOLD00071_1_cefddb56-1716-473f-bf24-8f480e998631.png?v=1757955097","url":"https:\/\/checkout.houseofdecant.com\/products\/sugrue-zodo-england-nv-75cl","provider":"House of Decant","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
