Camel Valley Pinot Noir Rosé Brut 2018

When ex-RAF pilot Bob Lindo and his wife Annie planted their first eight thousand vines in 1989, they never dreamed of the phenomenal success they would achieve within 2 decades. This sparkling rosé shows characteristic aromas of wild strawberries and raspberries, very well balanced with a pure, refreshing finish. Mouth-watering. The grapes are crushed to retain more of the special fruit characters that are unique to grapes grown in England. The by-product of this is a delicate pink colour. Only the free-run juice is used for the sparkling wine with the pressed juice going to still wine. The juice is cooled to 4°C to retain the delicate fruit aromas. The ferment temperature is only allowed to rise to 13°C resulting in more fruit character in the base wine. This wine has spent 12 months on the lees for fruit freshness and resulting in a fresh yeasty character.
