Sutton Grange 'Fairbank' Ancestrale Rose

Background

"The 2020 Ancestrale Rose is a classic ros� from Sutton Grange made in the Òmethode ancestraleÓ or Òpetillant naturelÓ style. This means the wine finishes the end of the primary fermentation in bottle, capturing the essence of the single vintage and vineyard. It is aged on lees over winter and was lightly disgorged to remove heavy tartrates (although light lees remain). This wine is extremely versatile and enjoyed as an aperitif or at its best with antipasto or light seafood dishes."

Tasting Note

"Bright and fresh aromas of strawberries rose petals and spice. It has bright, clean cranberry flavours, with lots of volume in the palate. The finish has a freshening raspberry tang combined with a dry, chalky texture." - Winemakers note
