English Sparkling Wines
Simpsons Wine Estate Canterbury Rosé 2019
Wild berry, almond and rose; clean and complex
Aged for 15 months on lees, Canterbury Rose is delicately pink, with a very fine bead. It has a soft rose petal and fresh strawberry sorbet nose, illustrating finesse and balance. On the palate there are crisp, wild berry flavours balanced with hints of almond and rose, ending with a clean, complex finish. The Simpsons’ vineyards occupy glorious positions on the sunny, sheltered slopes of the North Downs of Kent, protected from the whimsy of the English climate by ancient woodland and anchored in the iconic chalky soils so highly revered in the world of both still and sparkling wine. On their French wine estate, the award-winning Domaine Sainte Rose in the Languedoc region, the Simpsons have always pursued the cleaner, truer flavours of the grape, and are now bringing this savoir-faire to their English vineyards. With rootstock meticulously matched to the soil and a new world-class winery just minutes from the vines, quality is the watchword.
