Canterbury Rose Sparkling Rosé 2020

This wine is rose gold with a very fine, caressing bead. It has a fresh cranberry and vanilla cream nose, illustrating both finesse and balance. On the palate there are vibrant grapefruit flavours balanced with red berry fruit and savoury nuances. The extended ageing under cork 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 2021.

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