As I poured this #englishrose 2022, everyone around me anxiously awaited their glass. Bear in mind it was 98F/37C so a super charged rosé was in order. The bright aromas beckoned a sip ….

First sip I knew I was in for a treat. Instantly I knew the vintage showed signs of a warmer year, of optimal ripeness for 2022- the fruit profile of riper wild juicy red berries, rose petal cream and richer tangy pink grapefruit, lemon juice and blood orange zest, the fragrant elderflower and honeyed bread. Exceptionally balanced flavors with the lip smacking acidity that was so welcomed with the heat. It had oomph, a rosé fist pump in the air to say “Hellooooo, I’ve arrived.”

My gut is never wrong 😉 the 2022 was indeed a record year in the UK weather wise, with little to no rain and lots of sunshine ripening the grapes to perfection. Many have called the vintage amazing and I concur for this beauty. It was fascinating experience to taste two vintages back to back (see my previous post on the 2021). Just lovely!

Paired with a hot sunny summer afternoon spent with family, laughter and beautiful sips.
