Artelium Makers Rosé 2015

A new comer in the English wine scene, Artelium Makers Rosé 2015 is a blend of 50% Pinot Noir, 30% Chardonnay and 20% Pinot Meunier, hand-picked from a single vineyard and crafted by celebrated winemaker Dermot Sugrue. Aged on the lees for over 48 months, this is shows a brilliant copper-pink in hue with a fine mousse and elegant nose. Precise and pure on the palate with deep red fruited flavours; strawberry, blackberry and cherry, with a subtle hint of pepper and spice on the finish. Perfect with bitter dark chocolate!

"This single-vineyard sparkling rose has a pronounced, savoury nose of brioche, strawberry cream and a touch of game. On the palate it showcases preserved cherry, bruised apple and orange zest notes, with biscuits and cereal flavours unravels. It's a cheerful, food-friendly bottle made by the estate's winemaker-in-residence Dermot Sugrue." - 91 Pts, Sylvia Wu, Decanter
