Stanlake Park Estate Rosé

This week I thought I’d highlight 3 different styles of Rosé wine - a cool climate, a warm climate and a champagne.

Starting with the coolest region, Berkshire, England at Stanlake Park Wine Estate. Dating back to 1979 Stanlake Wine Estate is a labor of passion and love for couple Nico Centonze & Natalia Pezzone from the meticulously hand selected grapes and is involved in every stage of the winemaking process. This particular 100% Pinot Noir rosé undergoes a short maceration on the skins to extract the delicate color, cool fermentation in stainless steel with low intervention in order to preserve the fresh fruity character.

This watercolor label (and four others) were specially designed by local artist Benedict Butterworth who took inspiration from the English flowers found in the beautiful Stanlake Park’s grounds. The flowers were each chosen to reflect the color and or aromas connected to each and every wine.

Pours into the glass the palest of pale salmon pink color. Graceful aromas of fresh red berries, fresh citrus, rose petals and minerals with a candied citrus peel quality. Deliciously fresh raspberry, red cherry, passion fruit, pink grapefruit, tangerine, lemon, red apple with a crisp acidity. The body is full of life yet light on its feet, bone-dry with a refreshing, snappy finish. This is your go-to garden sipper, so delicately feminine in every sense
