Hattingley Valley Rose 2014

Approximately 8% of the blend is fermented in 4-5 year old Burgundy barrels. Before tirage, the base wine is blended with 5% red wine made from the Pinot Precoceto give a delicate soft pink color and some vibrant red fruit flavors. The wine spent 2 years aging on lees in the bottle before being disgorged.

The fine bubbles fizz away, dispersing this lively, invigorating freshness across the palate where an edge of sourdough appears. It's a taut, brisk and refreshing wine.
