A vibrant, deep pink with elegant mousse in the glass. On the nose, this English wine expresses aromas of red fruits, particularly that of ripe strawberries and red cherries. The palate shows off the balance of clean acidity with a slight sweetness giving a nicely rounded mouth feel. The aromas of strawberries and red cherries are continued over the palate with layers of complexity from the lees ageing, with a sweet spice character and an undercurrent of aniseed. This elegant medium dry rose may well be a summer in a bottle, excellent to drink on its own or with food.

Bolney Sparkling Rose
The Estate specialises in producing premium red, white, rosé and sparkling English wines that have won numerous awards, and gained lots of fans, all over the world.
In 2012, Bolney Wine Estate won UK Wine Producer of the Year in the International Wine and Spirit Competition. Since, we have been presented the accolade of Winery of the Year 2017 at the UK Wine Awards.
The estate has continued to invest in specialist machinery including, a 60-hectolitre press, a new disgorging line and 8 new wine tanks delivered in advance of the 2017 harvest and they continue to grow. In 2019 they opened their new state-of-the-art winery at Bolney, which will allow them to triple their production with a capacity to produce 500,000 bottles of wine. This project has allowed the business to continue with their exciting growth plans. The new winery was partly funded by the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development via a grant from Coast to Capital and DEFRA.
