Alcohol percentage: 11.5% Vegan Grape variety:It is a blend of 7 different varieties led by their estate grown Pinot Noir, with Rondo, Reichensteiner, Pinot Meunier, Cabernet Cortis, Solaris, and the aromatic Bacchus included in varying proportions. The majority (95%) was blended, then fermented, and aged in stainless steel, with a small proportion (5%) held in old oak casks for 4 months added to the original blend. Producer:Flint Vineyards was founded in Earsham, Norfolk in 2015 when winemaker Ben Witchell (a graduate in Oenology and Viticulture at Plumpton College) met with local farmer and businessman Adrian Hipwell and an immediate partnership was formed. The vineyard was already established but has grown since to 6ha with a mixture of both black and white grape plantings. From these both still and sparkling wines are made. Vintage:The Sparkling Rosé is made by the Charmat (tank fermented) method – the same process which makes Prosecco. The Bottle Shop rating:Summer in a glass. Red berries aromas and bold flavours of summer fruit pudding! This is crisp and clean on the palate, but also rounded, with a slight creaminess and refined mousse.
