A classic blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, Pinot Blanc and Early Pinot Noir, this delicate rosé sparkling wine has aromas of redcurrant, citrus and wild strawberry. Great as an aperitif or with an English cheeseboard. Vineyard To ensure consistent top quality fruit for this wine, we source from a collection of vineyards in Kent, Sussex and Essex.

Winemaking The traditional sparkling method used by producers across the globe starts with wine grapes (both white and red) fermented separately before being mixed together into a special cuvee blend. A small amount of yeast, sugar and wine is added to start the secondary fermentation. This fermentation traps carbon dioxide in the bottle. Bottles are then slowly rotated overtime to settle the dead yeast in the neck of the bottle. Finally, the dead yeast particles are removed via disgorging, with the wine mixture topped up with a liquer de tirage.
