Sparkling Wine
In Loving Memory of Chris.
In loving memory of Chris. Chris Spakouskas 20.08.1953 – 04.04.2025.
Very sadly and unexpectedly we lost Chris in 2025. As our Co-founder and owner we thought it was a fitting tribute to launch a wine in Chris’s memory.
This vintage sparking white wine, made from 100% Seyval Blanc grapes, harvested during our 2021 harvest, matured in tank for 9 months before being bottled and fermented traditional method. It has then been aged on the lees for 44 months before being disgorged March 2026. Please raise a glass of this special vintage wine and remember the good times.
Love from us all at Yorkshire Heart.

Winemakers Notes
"Chris was a loving family man, who adored working with his wife, Gillian and his wider family on a daily basis. He was also a pioneer in the wine industry, helping pave the way for the current growth in vineyards across Yorkshire and the North."
