Castle Brook Rose English Sparkling Wine 2016/2018 75cl

Castle Brook Rose English Sparkling Wine

A traditionally styled Brut rosé crafted from Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier grapes grown at a Herefordshire vineyard in the Wye Valley. Castle Brook, established by the Chinn family on the site of an ancient Roman vineyard, produces high quality sparkling wine on its steep, south-facing slopes. Benefiting from the region's warm westerly airflow and protective rain shadow, the grapes develop excellent ripeness and purity. This wine delivers a fine mousse and delicate salmon-pink hue, with elegant berry-laced freshness and creamy complexity from lees ageing. With its crisp structure and expressive fruit character, this is a versatile high quality sparkling wine ideal for refined drinking and food pairing.

• The Castle Brook Rose English Sparkling Wine shows a pale salmon-pink hue and a fine persistent mousse
• Aromas of red summer berries, strawberry, raspberry with subtle floral and citrus zest nuances
• Palate delivers mouth-watering freshness, ripe cranberry and redcurrant framed by soft creamy texture from lees ageing
• Clean crisp finish with lingering berry fruit and gentle toasty complexity

Perfect as an aperitif, the bright fruit and fine bubbles also complement seafood & fish such as smoked salmon, ceviche or delicate shellfish. The crisp acidity cleanses the palate, while the subtle creaminess and berry richness enhance flavours without overwhelming. Encouraging pairing for an elegant lunch, summer alfresco dining or celebratory toast.
