£392.00
UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED
A delightfully delicate nose of wild strawberry, shortbread, citrus zest and faint red berries. Copper pink and pale in appearance, our Sparkling Rosé balances generous texture with a fine mousse. Embracing purity and precision, this debut rosé is a detailed, small-batch, low-intervention wine.
Our winemaking embraces purity, texture and balance. A detailed, small-batch, low-intervention approach allows the fruit to shine through.
“Made at contract winery Itasca by Ben Smith, who was responsible for making my highest scoring English wine of all time (2018 Oxney Chardonnay), I have no problem declaring that this is the UK’s finest Pinot Blanc to date.
The fruit comes from the Missing Gate Vineyard in Essex, where it was hand-picked and whole bunch pressed into third fill Burgundy barrels. I was lucky enough to taste a bottle late last year, and it is as lively and energetic as any white wine you will taste.
A low sulphur regime and minimal fining have left the beautiful fruit to romance your senses. This is a truly brilliant wine with sensational depth, complexity and length. It is not slippery and smooth like an Alsatian PB, but grainy, combative and textural like an epic Chablis. It is nothing short of stunning, and it is certainly the epitome of brave winemaking.”

About Penn Croft Wines
Imagine you’re enjoying a beautiful glass of wine. You could be chatting the evening away with loved ones, creating a culinary masterpiece or simply relaxing in the garden on a lazy afternoon.
Now imagine that wine is made in a way that not only protects, but actively gives back to the natural world.Well, that’s where the idea for Penn Croft Winery came from.
It was born of a meeting of like minds – Simon Porter, a twenty-year veteran of sustainable agriculture, and Malcolm Walker, a well-travelled filmmaker who’d spent ten years interviewing the world’s most pioneering winemakers.
We discovered a shared vision: to create a planet friendly winery. The kind that uses sustainably grown grapes and champions biodiverse viticulture.
Simon planted the first vineyard in 2019, on the gentle slopes at the low western end of the North Downs in Crondall, Hampshire. This ancient and beautiful area provides the perfect conditions for producing sustainable wine.
Construction of the winery followed in early 2020 and we were open for business by September that year, just in time for the harvest. From two rusty old barns to a fully operational winery in just eight months was quite an adventure to undertake, but we have no intention of putting the brakes on anytime soon.
We’re the first to recognise that grape growing lags a bit behind building wineries, so in collaboration with our sister company Itasca, we brought in some grapes in 2020 to make our first wine. Our Bacchus debuted in 2021 – and we were delighted to win a bronze medal for it at the 2021 WineGB industry awards.

This is the eighth release of our best and most acclaimed sparkling rosé wine. Made with 100% Pinot Noir grapes which were lovingly hand picked from our Monkshatch plot at the end of the first week of October 2019.
Two thirds of the grapes were crushed and destemmed and soaked for two hours prior to pressing to obtain the lovely light ‘salmon pink’ colour before fermentation in stainless steel tanks.
One third of the grapes were whole bunch pressed with the base wine (using only the Cuvée) fermented and aged in used oak barrels. Both batches went through malolactic fermentation.
