Hundred Hills Rose de Saignee, 2021, England

The Hundred Hills Rosé de Saignée 2021 is a remarkable English sparkling wine that exemplifies the meticulous craftsmanship of the Hundred Hills estate. Produced using the traditional saignée method, this wine is crafted from specially selected Pinot Noir grapes harvested from the south-facing hillside vineyards. The 2021 vintage, characterized by a cooler growing season, allowed for an extended ripening period of 112 days on the vine, resulting in a wine of exceptional depth and character. The palate reveals abundant juicy fruit notes, complemented by hints of baking spices and bitter orange. The wine is mouthwatering with fine intensity and a head-turning exuberance of fruit, showcasing purity and expressiveness.
