Fermented in stainless steel to preserve the delicate fruit characters, this rosé is bursting with sweet, red summer berries, with a twist of orange and a fresh, lingering finish. Sourced from vineyards in the South East of England and hand harvested between September & October 2024, the Pinot Noir grapes received minimal handling to preserve the flavours. Fermentation was in 100% stainless steel to retain the freshness. Malolactic fermentation was inhibited to promote the primary fruit character of the wine, with a short period of skin contact to extract a beautiful salmon-pink hue. The fermentation was cool with extended fine lees ageing to add structure to the mid palate and promote a rounded finish. Lyme Bay entered into the world of English wine, planting 26,000 vines in 2009 and 2010 within a short distance of their winery in Devon. They also, as with this wine, source grapes from a select group of the best growers in the South of England.
