Sea-Aged Wine
The Experiment
Join us on this exciting voyage into sea-aged wine. Our 60 Above and 60 Below Prestige Pack is the first-ever cellar-aged versus sea-aged English sparkling wine duo. This extraordinary pair of Blanc de Blancs Vintage 2014 wines offers a unique opportunity to be part of this groundbreaking wine-tasting experiment.
The 1840 shipwreck
In 2010, an incredible discovery emerged from the depths of the Baltic Sea. A treasure trove of Champagne was reclaimed from an 1840 shipwreck that was perfectly preserved with an astonishing palate. Sparking the curiosity of sparkling winemakers across the globe, the journey of sea-aged wine began.
The rise of sea-ageing
Since then, a small number of Champagne houses have been on a quest to unravel the mysteries of the deep. Keen to replicate the conditions of the shipwreck, underwater cellars were created to test how the constant motion of the water could impact the development of the wine.
Our unique voyage
With a greater level of freedom than Champagne, Exton Park has ventured even further into the realm of experimentation. While Champagne must be disgorged before submersion, our wines were still on lees, something that has never been explored before. And so, a new and exciting chapter in the story of sea-ageing begins.
The results
Now is the time to unveil the results of this remarkable innovation. 60 Above and 60 Below, our cellar-aged and sea-aged siblings, are ready to be enjoyed side by side in this one-of-a-kind tasting adventure.
