Our best-selling English still white wine.

This fragrant wine is crisp and refreshing, with a nose full of elderflower, grapefruit and melon notes. An unbeatable choice for all occasions! 100% Bacchus grapes & 12% alcohol.

Originally from the German region of Pfalz, Bacchus was created in the 30s as a cross between Silvaner, Riesling and Müller-Thurgau. Under the UK climate, Bacchus has become a world class wine in its own right, developing distinct floral, citrus and grassy aromas that have led to frequent comparison with the highest quality Sauvignon Blancs.

Black Chalk Wild Sparkling Rosé 2021 (6 Bottles) Andover, Hampshire, England

£270.00
by Wines by Cellars

UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED

Blend: 55% Pinot Noir, 31% Pinot Meunier, 14% Chardonnay

Wild Rose Sparkling Rosé captivates with its delicate wild-rose pink hue, exuding elegance and complexity. On the nose, vibrant aromas of ripe red berries intertwine with subtle floral nuances.

The palate is a delightful balance of freshness and bright fruit, with luscious notes of strawberries and raspberries complemented by a soft, creamy texture, a result of partial malolactic fermentation. This harmonious interplay concludes with a beautifully long, refined finish.

Aged for a minimum of 22 months on lees and rested an additional six months on cork post-disgorgement, this sparkling rosé demonstrates exceptional maturity and finesse.

Wild Rose shines alongside sashimi and maki rolls, enhanced by the salty tang of soy sauce and the zing of fresh ginger. It also pairs effortlessly with charcuterie boards and cheese platters. For a casual yet elevated option, try it with spicy lamb koftas, flatbreads, and a cooling burrata and tomato salad.
