Hambledon Classic Cuvee Rose English Sparkling 75cl

Pale Provençal pink. Creamy red fruit but still has that lovely smoky chalk character of the Première Cuvée. Dry but with a rounded fruit finish. Excellent fruit depth, just a little bit of felt sweetness on the finish so you get a sweet/sour Victoria plum finish and a slight boiled-sweets (hard-candy) after-effect

Great as an aperitif but also a good companion to salmon fillet and desserts made with summer fruits and berries.

In 1999, the current managing director acquired the vineyard with a view to restoring it to its former glory.

Today Hambledon comprises over 200 acres spread over numerous vineyard sites. Each vineyard is planted with Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier – the three grape varieties most commonly used in the production of Champagne.
