Bluebell Vineyard Estates Rosé 2018
Wild strawberry and a hint of violet lead to refreshing cranberry and delicate rhubarb on the palate
Following the success of their sparkling “Hindleap” range, Bluebell Vineyards have introduced a new still wine range, “Ashdown”, from 2018. The 2018 growing season was unprecedented – a mild spring for budburst, perfect conditions at flowering and extremely high temperatures throughout June and July, followed by a warm and sunny September and October which provided the ideal condition for ripening grapes. 2018 delivered clean fruit of exceptional quality with a great concentration of sugars and fruit flavours, creating aromatic wines with structure and juicy, balanced acidity. The main harvest of champagne varietals including Pinot Noir, which is 55% of this rosé blend, began on the 26th September. The Merlot was harvested on the 30th October.
