Hambledon, Première Cuvée Rosé, Sparkling, Hampshire, England

Description

Hambledon Vineyard’s chalk soils give energy, vibrancy and accuracy to all its wines, and the Premier Cuvée Rosé is no exception. Winemaker Felix Gabillet, a French native, was given creative freedom to create this stunning cuvée. It is unlike any other produced in the UK. Based on Pinot Meunier, it is produced using the saignée method, which gives it a red wine-like savouriness and vinous weight. The foam is delicate, yet the fruit profile is deep: pure raspberry with peppery Pinot undertones, blackberry tang and sapid, chalky brightness. The finish is complex, aided by the 2016 base and solera-aged reserve wine.

About this wine

Hambledon Vineyard

Hambledon Vineyard has a long and fascinating history. It’s the location of the first English commercial vineyard, courtesy of the Francophile Sir Guy Salisbury Jones, who developed the vineyards in the early fifties. After a period of decline, the vineyard was purchased by Ian Kellett in 1999 and his investments of both patience and capital are now yielding fruit, quite literally, in the form of some of the best Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier grapes in the country.
