Their textured and generous English sparkling rosé, brimming with luscious notes of ripe red fruits, is an exquisite choice to savor year-round. Crafted with utmost care, this sparkling wine is born from the finest handpicked Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier grapes cultivated in their Sussex vineyards. The grapes earmarked for the sparkling rosé undergo a whole-bunch pressing and partial fermentation in the finest French oak barrels, followed by an ample period of lees-aging in the bottle for a minimum of 36 months. Just before release, a touch of Pinot Précoce is added, lending an appealing rose pink hue and infusing the wine with ripe red fruit characteristics, making it a delightful and well-rounded sparkling wine.
