English Rosé has become one of the UK’s most exciting wine styles, showcasing the country’s cool-climate freshness in a delicate pink form. Made from grapes such as Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, Rondo, Regent, or Dornfelder, English rosés combine vibrant fruit with lively acidity, often in a dry, elegant style.
In the glass, English Rosé typically shows a pale blush to deeper salmon colour, with aromas of strawberry, raspberry, redcurrant, and rose petals. On the palate, expect crisp, refreshing acidity balanced by soft red berry flavours, sometimes lifted with notes of citrus zest or herbs. Styles vary from bone-dry and mineral to lightly fruity and rounded, but always with a hallmark freshness.
For UK drinkers, English Rosé is a versatile all-season choice: perfect as a summer aperitif, but equally at home with grilled salmon, charcuterie, salads, roasted vegetables, and soft cheeses. Elegant, refreshing, and distinctly local, it’s a true expression of modern English wine.
