Nutbourne Vineyards Blush 2023

A delightful dry blush rosé wine made from a combined pressing of Pinot Blanc and Pinot Noir, with just enough skin contact to give a lovely pale pink hue. With gentle wild strawberry on the nose and soft sherbet on the palate.

The art: Nutbourne Vineyards is a family affair. The wines are only made from grapes grown on the estate, and every bottle label features a Gladwin Family painting, selected to complement the wine. This colourful watercolour of an oyster by Oliver Gladwin, as this wine is perfect with oysters on a Summer’s afternoon.

Vines were first planted at Nutbourne in 1979 by one of the early pioneers of wine grape growing in this country. Since 1991 it has been owned, managed and expanded by the Gladwin family. The “Terroir” at Nutbourne is a unique and ideal wine growing environment – a warm microclimate protected by the South Downs, gentle south-facing slopes and the same fertile green sand soil as the Champagne region in France. There are 26 acres under vine.
