Hattingley Valley English Sparkling Rosé 2020

Pink grapefruit and sweet marshmallow on the palate, bring a balanced and highly drinkable quality to this English sparkling wine. With just a touch of oak ageing, it has a delightful creaminess, that effortlessly complements a variety of cuisines.

The Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier grapes were hand picked and gently whole-bunch pressed. Approximately 20% of the blend was fermented in 4-5 year old Burgundy barrels, adding a lovely texture and richness to the wine, and only 4% of the total blend went through malolactic fermentation in order to help softening the wine’s natural acidity. The wine spent 8 months in tank and barrel before tirage where 1% of Pinot Précoce (having been vinified as a still red) was added to enhance colour and give extra vibrant red fruit flavours. The wine undergoes second fermentation in bottle and ageing on its lees for 24 months before disgorging.
