Tasting note
Pale pink with a light, delicate mousse. The nose offers red and stone fruits, citrus zest and fresh flowers. Juicy and elegant on the palate, with strawberry, raspberry, redcurrant, rhubarb, red apple, nectarine and orange notes, plus hints of pink peppercorn and mineral freshness on a long, zesty finish.
Viticulture
From hand selected grapes grown on our own vines from our estates in Appledore, Kent and West Sussex. Vines are pruned single or double guyot depending on block. Vines are a mixture of Champagne and Burgundian clones.
Vinification
Hand-harvested late September to mid October, whole-bunch pressed and settled for 12-24 hours. Fermented for 10 days at 18-20°C in stainless steel with sparkling yeast. A small portion of barrel-fermented red wine was blended before secondary fermentation. Bottled June 2020, then aged 36 months on lees before disgorging.
Food Match
Richer fish, lighter meat and game dishes plus lighter, fruit driven desserts. Great with salmon gravadlax, smoked duck salad or a rhubarb custard tart.
