Balfour Hush Heath Estate Saignée Brut Rosé England 2018

This new rosé is made using the Saignée method, where colour is extracted from contact with the red grape skins. This blend of 45% Pinot Noir, 35% Chardonnay, 15% Pinot Meunier and 5% Pinot Blanc.

Vivid dark coral colored.  It has an intriguing and complex nose. Hints of methanol combine wonderfully with wild strawberry jam and blackberry notes.  The palate is alive with fresh raspberries and lemon zest combined with a delicate herbal undertone. Dry and beautifully balanced with a hint of tannin that lends itself to pairing with a variety of foods.
