Albourne Estate Rose MV (75cl)

“As its name suggests this wine is made of selected base wines from multiple vintages to produce an approachable and immediately enjoyable style. Others call this style ‘non-vintage’ – we just prefer the name ‘multi-vintage’!  The blend of this wine will vary slightly each year in order to maintain a consistent style, but it will typically be a combination of  Chardonnay, Pinot Blanc, Pinot Noir or Pinot Meunier and will undergo 3 years on-lees ageing.

Generous and soft on the palate, this wine is open and expressive, exhibiting delightful panettone-like aromas of sweet baked bread, dried apricots, nuts and candied citrus peels.”

“A lovely example of the delicate style of English bottle-fermented sparkling rose wines. With a beautiful, pale salmon-pink hue and soft aromas of white nectarine, cherry, wild strawberry, and almond blossom this wine is dry and elegant with a fresh mineral character on the palate.”

“When people ask me I never admit to having a favourite wine….it would be like having a favourite child – unthinkable!   However, I’m very close to admitting that this could be my favourite sparkling wine that we’ve released so far.    I always love the gorgeous bronzed-gold colour of Blanc de Noirs wines coupled with their depth of flavour…..but what totally captivates me about this wine is the mouthfeel and balance.   It has the smoothest texture, the most delicious creaminess and a captivating balance of freshness and fruit.    This is a fantastic example of the style that can be created with the right wine and patience!   We’ve waited 5 long years for this wine to gently mature and I think it was worth it.”

“This wine was crafted from selected hand-picked Chardonnay & Pinot Blanc grapes gently pressed to extract the highest quality cuvee juice.  A portion of the wine underwent maturation in French oak barrels prior to blending. After secondary fermentation this wine enjoyed 5 years on-lees maturation in bottle, all of which has helped to create a beautifully balanced and elegant Sussex sparkling wine with layers of complexity, great poise and length. On the nose the wine offers aromas of pear, peach and apricot complimented by a touch of brioche.”

“First release of our signature premium blend is made from only our finest cuvees with minimal intervention techniques – no fining, no filtration and prolonged barrel maturation in a mixture of old and new oak prior to blending and bottling . The wine then spent over 4 years in bottle on-lees ageing in our cellars prior to disgorging with ZERO dosage addition leading to a beautifully concentrated and complex layered wine with perfect poise and balance.

Complex aromas of toast, brioche, coffee, honey and fig on the nose are backed up by fresh tangerine and satsuma citrus notes on the palate.  This is a great example of English Sparkling Wine at its finest.   We will only make this wine in excellent years and in limited quantities.”
