Canterbury Rose Sparkling Rosé 2021

This wine is rose gold with a very fine, caressing bead. On the nose it has hints of citrus peel and rosehip with savoury patisserie nuances, illustrating both finesse and balance. On the palate there are vibrant grapefruit flavours layered with red berry fruit. The extended lees ageing has enhanced this wine’s elegant structure and its generous, lingering finish.

Our Great British Classic Method Rosé is the epitome of English taste and luxury and is created from exclusively estate-grown Pinot Noir grapes picked from our vineyards situated on the iconic chalk slopes of the North Downs of Kent.

Pinot Noir grapes from our Roman Road vineyard site were carefully harvested and gently pressed in an Inertys, oxygen-free pneumatic press to preserve and protect the pure, primary red fruit flavours and aromatics. The juice was then cold settled in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks prior to primary fermentation. The wine progressed through full malolactic fermentation and then rested in tank prior to tirage in spring 2022.

After the secondary fermentation in the bottle the wine then aged on its lees for twenty months prior to disgorgement and then a further twelve months under cork prior to release.
