Rosé Wine Duo
Passion for Pink? This duo strikes the perfect balance between light & refreshing and creamy & smooth.
'Rhianna' 2022 Barbera Rose
Grapes from Lombardy, Italy.
What's the wine like?
Thanks to the low temperature fermentation we’ve achieved aromas of orange blossom and light red fruits, with raspberries and bright red apple on the palate. While still fruity there is a pleasing salinity that tempers the wine, making this a fresh, light rose that is versatile in food pairing as well as an easy drinking crowd pleaser.
So how was Rhianna made?
The grapes were pressed off immediately so as to make a light, subtle rose, we fermented the wine at a low temperature to preserve the aromatics, and kept the wine in stainless steel as we aimed for a fresher style.
With freshness in mind we didn’t put the wine through malolactic fermentation, but we still wanted some mouthfeel and texture so we did regular batonage post fermentation before filtration.
'Esi' 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon Rose
Grapes from Herefordshire, UK.
What's the wine like?
She’s a very unique wine is, old (well young) Esi. Don’t expect big bad Cab Sav tannins or developed deep red vibes as Esi is sherbety, with aromas of nectarines and rhubarb. She’s complex and textured and was aged in old French oak barrels, so expect a lick of oak… She’s English so expect slightly higher acid than you’d think and she’s got a touch of herbaceousness to her.
So how was Esi made?
We hand harvested the grapes and rushed them back to London. The plan was to make these grapes into a white Cab Sav. Well, that was a little ambitious as it turned out. When we whole bunch pressed the grapes in our bigger press, there was a load of colour that came out from the skins. We could’ve filtered this juice to make it white but we didn’t want to artificially muck around. If it’s pink, it’s pink.
So, whole bunch pressed, fermented in stainless steel, aged in old French oak. Then put into bottle. We’re really pleased how she turned out…. Give her a taste.
Note: This wine, like all our wines, is vegan friendly. They are made without the use of animal based winemaking products.
