Tasting note
An aromatic, exciting nose with bold, lifted red berry fruits alongside savoury spice and baked brioche. Tart baked rhubarb and crunchy, juicy cranberry on the palate. A lovely approachable style, offering excellent maturity and depth of flavour. Great concentration with fresh acid and lovely lees texture. A rich, complex rosé. Long, clean finish.
Viticulture
Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier hand-picked from a single vineyard in Hampshire. 2015 began frost-free. A late budburst was followed by a cool summer, which slowed ripening until September. An Indian Summer raised temperatures, balanced grapes and resulted in exceptional quality. 2015 was a tense year, waiting for ripening and resulting wines.
Vinification
Crafted by renowned winemaker Dermot Sugrue, the 2015 Rosé is vinified in a stainless-steel tank. The red wine was cold-soaked on skins for several days, which adds colour and red fruit essence. Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier were fermented and aged separately. Only the Chardonnay undergoes malolactic fermentation.
Food Match
A gastronomic gem! Enjoy solo or elevate with cured hams, lardo-wrapped asparagus, roast duck leg. Pairing perfection with mature cheeses and roast Turbot.
