Suzanne 2021
Suzanne 2021
£18.00
A modern style of Rosé showing off an inviting “Partridge Eye” pink colour influenced by the more red than purple Pinot Noir varietal and a combination of red berry, floral and spice elements with an amenable structure to the palate versatile this wine is.
The grapes of our Suzanne rosé are selected from warm parcels of vineyard, situated mid-slope where the soil is fertile and the grapes receive optimum sunlight. Typically light and bright, this wine is full of blossom perfume and red summer berries that lead to a delightful fresh mouth feel.

Winemaking
Grapes blended from the field and to aid extraction were then destemmed for 6 hours of skin contact followed by 5 hours of gentle pressing. A standard cool fermentation regime followed in tank lasting 3-4weeks with 10% of the blend made in amphora. The finished wine was left on fine lees over winter in tank then later racked with stabilisation and tirage at bottling in early spring.
Harvest
9 – 15th October 2018
Pinot Meunier is chosen to be most suitable as the mainstay component for this wine for its consistently even ripening which provides a balanced ratio of grape sugars to fruit acids. With warmer conditions than usual the harvest was called in two weeks earlier with varieties ripening almost simultaneously across the board which worked out well for this our sparkling rosé. Components of a sparkling wine clone of Pinot Noir to bring structure and Chardonnay for an element of freshness were harvested from the mid and lower slope to make the blend.
Tasting Note
Typically, a full style but with paler partridge eye pink set off by the gentle effervescence that persists, lifting an array of flavours from the glass. Primary notes of red currant jelly and pie crust combine with intriguing maturation complexity bringing a savoury element that carries over the palate with very finely tuned tannin and acid grip on the aftertaste.
