Overview
Buyers must be at least 18 years old and located outside a designated dry zone to purchase alcohol.
Tasting Notes
A pale and dry rose made from Pinot Meunier. Hints of strawberries and cream aromatically, with a generous but balanced mouthfeel. Refreshing summer drinking.
Winemaking
Destemmed and pressed directly to tank for wild, or un-inoculated fermentation. Roughly 10% red wine added back post fermentation with full lees. Harvest 25/03/21. Baumé 11.7, pH 3.49. Destemmed and pressed directly to tank for ferment. Wild ferment completed very quickly, but the wine remained on gross lees for a further 3.5 months. Racked in mid-July with an addition of SO2. Passed through a coarse filtration in early August to remove some cloudiness before bottling on 25/8/21.
Review
Only a touch lighter in colour than the Pinot Meunier below, this is quite a different wine, with more of a savoury profile (earth, pepper), a touch of fruit leaning towards strawberry and rose, and some bell pepper. On the palate it’s silky, and it goes just swimmingly with spicy food like curry or noodles with chilli. Enjoy at any time of year, no matter the temp.
