Description
Four years in the making – our Rosé NV takes dedication and patience from our winemaking team. If you want to see for yourself how this wine is made – come and join one of our winery tours…
Grapes are hand harvested in late autumn, and the different varieties are pressed separately as whole bunches. The juice is fermented in stainless steel tanks before being allowed to rest on its yeast lees for eight months, before being bottled the summer following harvest. At bottling, a portion of still red wine made from the previous harvest’s
Pinots is added for the colour and flavour, along with a portion of our reserve wines (which date back to 2009) is added to make up 20-30% of the final blend. The wine then undergoes slow secondary fermentation in bottle, and is kept on its lees, at cool 9-11°C for around three years, allowing it to mature and take on flavours and structure through the process of autolysis. The bottles were riddled and disgorged, with a dosage of 8g/l.
