In the glass

Medium-bodiedHigh acidityDryLong finish

Aroma: redcurrant, summer berries, honey

Palate: strawberry, cherry, orange, cranberry, biscuit

A peach-gold vintage rose made only from Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier. Fragrant redcurrant, summer berries and honey lead to bright strawberries and cherries layered with orange, cranberry and biscuit, on a soft, creamy texture.

What it pairs with

  • Roast quail
    Ripe Pinot fruit and biscuit depth suit small game birds.
  • Tuna tartare
    Savoury red fruit gives weight without tannin.
  • Baked Camembert
    The creamy mouthfeel matches a molten soft cheese; acidity keeps it clean.

A peach-gold hue with redcurrant, summer berries and honey on the nose, then strawberries, cherries, orange, cranberry and biscuit over a soft, creamy texture and a long finish.

Yes. Head winemaker Simon Roberts describes it as both a refreshing aperitif and a sublime match for food; its Pinot weight handles game and soft cheese.
