Ambriel’s Huzzah Rosé MV is a spirited blend of Pinot Noir (59%), Chardonnay (26%) and Pinot Meunier (15%). It is primarily based on the 2015 vintage. This single estate, Traditional Method Sparkling Wine has notes of sun-ripened strawberries and summer raspberries, with brioche and honey flavours. An impressive 83 months lees ageing gives this wine luxuriant toasty notes and texture. Ambriel Vineyard was founded in 2006 by Charles and Wendy Outhwaite. Coming from banking and law, their careers were unconventional training for winemaking. Nevertheless their attention to detail, curiosity, capacity for hard graft and dogged pursuit of excellence have served them well. As self-confessed control freaks they take charge of every aspect from grape to glass. Wendy grows the grapes, Charles ferments them. Blending – somewhat appropriately – is done together (and is done blind). All wines are made from estate grown grapes and matured at Ambriel. They are proudly certified carbon neutral.
