Highdown Vineyard Helix Rosé NV

Here is a delicious rosé produced by Highdown Vineyard, a micro-winery on the southerly side of Highdown Hill in the South Downs of West Sussex. The first vines were planted in 1985 and the small range of wines are made by owners Aly and Paul Englefield.

Appearance: Orange-pink with plenty of depth to the colour.
Aroma: Fantastic sweet strawberries-and-cream perfume.
Flavour: This dry rosé is expressive and has great structure; crisp acidity balanced by ripe fruit and just a little tannin. Soft red fruits and crushed apples.

Delicious on its own or with salty snacks!
