Amber Valley Elsa Pink 2023 (6 Bottles) Wessington, Derbyshire, England

£112.00
by Wines by Cellars

UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED

A Provençal-inspired rosé with an unmistakably English essence, the Elsa Pink 2023 is a captivating expression of vibrancy and elegance. Its delicate peachy-pink hue evokes the charm of an English summer sunset, setting the stage for a wine that delights all the senses.

The nose is an enticing bouquet of fresh strawberries and juicy raspberries, underscored by a subtle floral lift. On the palate, it delivers a lively medley of red berry flavors—strawberries, raspberries, and tart cranberries—complemented by a whisper of white pepper for a touch of intrigue. A creamy texture glides into a finish layered with delicate elderflower and the crisp freshness of red apple.

Crafted from a harmonious blend of Rondo, Phoenix, and Pinot Noir, this off-dry rosé (11% ABV) is beautifully balanced, offering a bright acidity that enhances its food-pairing versatility. Whether accompanying BBQ pork or chicken, the sweetness of lobster or paella, or the indulgence of Wensleydale and Cranberry cheese, Elsa Pink 2023 is a true crowd-pleaser. It also surprises as a refreshing partner to Eton mess.

Perfect for leisurely afternoons, this wine’s charm is as captivating as the inspiration behind it—a tribute to youthful energy and the warmth of summer. Elsa Pink 2023 is summer in a glass, inviting you to savor the best of English winemaking.
