LYME BAY PINOT NOIR ROSE 75CL 12%

A delightful English Ros? Wine made from 100% Pinot Noir grapes. Full bodied with great acidity, which makes it an ideal food wine. Best served very lightly chilled. Sourced from vineyards in Essex, the Pinot Noir grapes received minimal handling to preserve the flavours. Fermentation was in 100% stainless steel to retain the freshness. Malolactic fermentation was inhibited to promote the primary fruit character of the wine, with 6 hours of skin contact given to enhance colour extraction. The fermentation was cool with extended fine lees ageing to add structure to the mid palate and promote a rounded finish.
