Aroma: cranberry, redcurrant, toasted brioche

Palate: cranberry, redcurrant, spice

A bright and characterful Pinot Noir led sparkling rose made by Dermot Sugrue from hand-picked Sussex and Hampshire fruit. Fresh cranberry and red currant sit alongside subtle spice and toasted brioche in an approachable style, reminiscent of the long warm summer it came from.

What it pairs with

  • Charcuterie
    Red currant acidity works through cured pork fat.
  • Seared tuna
    Pinot-led fruit weight without tannin suits a meaty fish.
  • Cranberry-glazed ham
    The wine's own cranberry note meets the glaze.
