The nose is an enticing bouquet of fresh strawberries and juicy raspberries, underscored by a subtle floral lift.

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.
