Nyetimber Rose, Vintage, West Sussex, UK

The rosé is a superb example of what we can do best here in England. Chardonnay and Pinot noir varieties made in the traditional Champagne method provide the huge amount of fruit (redcurrant and cherries) present on the nose and palate. This fruitiness is balanced perfectly by the lees-aging brioche notes, as well as the acidity and unabating length.
