Balfour Winery, Hush Heath Estate, Brut Rosé, Kent, England, United Kingdom 2014

Chardonnay took up a higher percentage (48%) than Pinot Noir (39%) in the 2014 vintage. Salted wheat biscuit on the nose, with bruised yellow apple and acacia honey undertone. A complex, autolytic palate wrapped in a frothy mousse. Dusty red apple and bitter citrus peel on the mid-palate, seasoned with white pepper. Well-balanced with plenty of charm. Zesty citrus and umami notes on the long finish.
