Simpsons Pinot Noir Rosé 2020

This delicately hued Rosé displays fresh, floral aromas, soft strawberry flavours and a crisp, mouth-watering finish.

We planted the first 10 hectares of Chardonnay, Pinot Meunier and Pinot Noir on our estate in 2014. This is our Roman Road Vineyard, situated alongside the route the Romans first marched when invading England in AD 43, bringing with them the first vines. A further 20 hectares of the same three grape varieties were established on the southern slopes of the village during 2016 and 2017. This is our Railway Hill Vineyard, so called because the Canterbury to Folkestone light railway passed through this site in the late 19th and first half of the 20th Century.

Carefully hand-picked Pinot Noir grapes were whole bunch pressed and cold settled for 48 hours prior to racking.

This wine spent time on yeast lees to build palate weight, before bottling in spring 2020.
