English Rosé Wines
Woodchester Valley Rosé 2023
Vibrant, exuberant rosé with ripe red fruits and a long finish
A beautifully bold Rosé, perfect for the summer, autumn, winter and spring! Aromas of strawberry, raspberry and cranberry with plenty of ripe red fruit flavours, and a hint of rhubarb and blood orange. A beautiful pink colour, this dances on the palate with great mid-palate structure and has a lovely crisp, mouthwatering finish. A fantastic foodie wine, this Rosé can stand up to anything from peppery charcuterie to ratatouille, garlic prawns, or paprika chicken. Or for a warmer day, try with a couscous and pomegranate salad.
Woodchester Valley is a family owned boutique vineyard and winery in the South Cotswolds. They have three vineyard sites in the Stroud valleys which produce a range of still white, rosé and sparkling wines. They are located in Amberley, Woodchester and Doverow Hill (Stonehouse), with a total of 45 acres under vine. Woodchester Valley was established in 2007 when a single acre was planted on their Amberley site to assess the suitability of the land for growing vines. The three sites have different soil profiles although are all predominantly limestone. The Woodchester and Amberley sites are typical of Cotswold brash – shallow soils with a high stone content overlying Oolitic limestone, particularly favourable for their Pinot Noir and Chardonnay vines. These soils are very free-draining. Their Stonehouse site has a higher clay content and deeper soils well-suited for their Bacchus vines.
