TASTING NOTES
SWEETNESS
A dry rosé that’s low in sugar letting the strawberry flavour burst out.
ACIDITY
Our Rosé has a touch of tart. Strawberry with the sharpness of a raspberry.
BODY
Light, clean and crisp. It’s almost impossible to sip, so please try to savour.
THE PROCESS
HARVEST
After nurturing our Pinot Noir grapes as if they were our own (which they are) we carefully hand-pick the juiciest berries from our vines.
DESTEM
The stems and other non- grape materials are removed in preparation for crushing.
PRESS & MACERATE
The grapes are then pressed and left to macerate (soften) for a few hours to take on some of the colour from the skin. Then pressed again and the juice collected.
FERMENT
The juice is fermented to make our rosé wine. The yeast we add eats all the sugar present, creating alcohol and CO2. While this happens, we wait. For months. Oh, the Torture.
CAN
After patiently holding our horses, we add bubbles while it’s canned. This brings our wine to life whilst keeping the fresh, pure, aromatic qualities that traditional sparkling wine methods would remove. Perfect.
We offer next day shipping within the United Kingdom.
The Cork and Truckle stock my favourite cheese, Snowdonia. Their service is fantastic and I love the shop, it is such a nice experience buying my monthly cheese there.
