Jenkyn Place Sparkling Rosé 2014 (Gift Boxed)
The Jenkyn Place vintage Sparking Rosé is a produced from a blend of Pinot Noir (52%), Chardonnay (32%) and Pinot Meunier (16%) grapes grown on the estates own vineyards and then made by Dermot Sugrue at his base in Wiston Estate. Late harvested Pinot Noir was selected from the ripest parcel of the vineyard and fermented on its skins to extract colour and flavour, with the remaining grapes pressed gently before fermentation at low temperatures and aged in stainless steel tanks for 7 months. This vintage is deliciously elegant and refreshing, showing savoury notes of fresh bread, citrus and brioche on the nose and bright, delicate flavours of rosehip, redcurrant and cranberry on the palate. Though dominated by Pinot Noir, a chalky minerality runs through the wine, with a significant proportion of Chardonnay making its presence felt in the long, precise and linear finish. This is a dry, elegant sparkling rosé that will continue to evolve gracefully for many years to come.
