Rosé has a long history as a much loved and often preferred choice of wine. Indeed, there’s reason to believe that the earliest red wines were closer in appearance to today’s modern rosé than we would think of as modern red wine.

Having taken over the UK’s oldest commercial vineyard in 1999, he spent years ensuring he had the right vine clones and rootstock to deliver the highest quality sparkling wine possible on Hambledon’s chalky soil.
An obvious question you may say, going by the old adage that Rosés are best drunk young. However, you may well be surprised by some modern Rosés and we’d like to be among the first to break the good news!
