Black Chalk, Wild Rose, Hampshire, England, United Kingdom 2020

Citrus blossom, red apple and cranberry on the nose. Ripe red summer berries, lemon and grapefruit on the textured palate, thanks to 18 months of ageing on lees. The dosage is at 10g/l, offset by crisp acidity at 8g/l. Hints of salted blood orange and nuts on the finish.

An alluring sparkling that makes the most of the rich 2020 vintage. It tames sharp acidity with generous layers of soft red berries, ripe yellow orchard fruit and pink citrus. The fruit core sits gently on the mid-palate with a soft lining of thyme, oregano and crushed mint on the sides. Subtle and delicious nuances of toasted almonds and apple crumble. Long finish, zesty and refreshing.
