Frequently asked about Dear Noodles Rose
Why is it called Dear Noodles?
It is made in memory of the Sugrue family dog, Noodles, who is immortalised on the Sugrue South Downs crest.
What grapes are in Dear Noodles Rose?
Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier, gently macerated and blended from barrels, grown across all the Sugrue vineyards.
Is Dear Noodles a pale Provence style rose?
Deliberately not. Sugrue set out to make a dry English rose deep in colour and character, taking inspiration from Bandol, Rioja and Corsica instead.
