The award-winning Hambledon Classic Cuvée Rosé is exclusively produced on the southeast-facing chalk slopes of Windmill Down. This vibrant wild strawberry pink rosé, accented with a hint of red onion skin on the rim, is the elegant rosé expression of our Classic Cuvée. Aged for at least 45 months on lees, this Chardonnay-led blend (86% Chardonnay, 14% Pinot Noir) from the 2017 harvest offers rich red fruit aromas complemented by a clean, crisp, yeasty finish. The dosage is 10 g/L. Classic Cuvée Rosé is ready to drink now but can be cellared for 6-12 months under optimum storage conditions.

Critics reviews
Jancis Robinson MW 16.5/20
Lots of intensity on the nose – and massive tension on the palate. It tastes, and almost looks, like a white wine. Not really sure why it needs to be a rosé! Good stuff that should age well.

Sylvia Wu 94/100
A complex, savoury nose of biscuits and flinty summer fruits. An umami-rich, concentrated palate of red apple, raspberry and strawberry. 45+ months of ageing on lees provide more texture, while dosage at 10 g/l gives honeyed charm to the bright and elegant red fruits. Long with red apple peel on the finish. A beautifully poised summer fizz.
Drink 2022 - 2025
