Critics reviews
Tamlyn Currin 16.5/20
Snappy, aloof, pithy. Blood orange and iodine minerality. Bubbles like a thousand tiny, glittering scalpels. It is quite severe and pared back – it tastes as if the dosage is low. If you weren't looking at the colour, it would be easy to mistake this for a Blanc de Blancs. It is a wine that probably needs dishes with intense lemon and salt to coax it from its rigid austerity.

Sylvia Wu 91/100
Aged on lees for at least 36 months and finished with 5g/l dosage, balanced by 7.1g/l acidity.
The onion pink colour of the sparkling rosé came from blending a dash of French oak-aged Pinot Noir—creamy perfume of ripe peach, red cherry and strewed strawberry. More boiled red berries on the saline palate, yeasty red apple peel, and white pepper-spiced grapefruit provide complexity, with bright acidity serving as the spine. Spiced nuts linger until the finish.

About this wine
Sussex
Located in southern England, Sussex has emerged as a promising region for wine production in recent years.
The country's cool climate and chalky soil, reminiscent of the renowned Champagne region in France, have created favourable conditions for vineyards to flourish.
Winemaking in Sussex focuses on sparkling wines made from traditional methods using classic grape varieties such as Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier.
