Hambledon Classic Cuvee Rose English Sparkling Wine 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.

Hambledon wines are produced in the England's oldest commercial vineyard. The vineyards are planted on upper cretaceous belemite chalk, famous for sparkling wine production.Hambledon has been established since 1952 and it is England's oldest Commercial Vineyard. 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.
