Black Chalk Wild Rose, Hampshire 2021

Sparkling Wine from England

0 Reviews

Rosé sparkling from England is hugely underappreciated, but here the chalky soils of Hampshire provide both purity of fruit and wonderful delicacy to the wines. This pale-pink English sparkling rosé from the hugely exciting Black Chalk ream offers ripe red-fruit notes from 55% pinot noir and 31% pinot meunier in the blend, alongside citrus and mineral freshness from 14% chardonnay. A cooler vintage this has great poise, elegance and refreshing vitality but will develop well in bottle.

Black Chalk

As new faces to watch go, they don't come much newer than Black Chalk, a family owned and run winery based in Hampshire's beautiful Test Valley. Despite being the new kids on the block, this property has hit the ground running and bagged numerous prestigious accolades already: Gold at the International Wine and Spirits Championship, Overall Trophy Winner and Newcomer of the Year at the Wine GB Awards, Overall Winner at the Independent English Wine Awards, and Winner of our very own Wine Champions Competition earlier this year. Pretty impressive for what is only their second vintage!

Black Chalk was set up by Jacob Leadley and his brother-in-law Andrew Seden. Jacob, who left a comfortable job in London to retrain as a winemaker, was formerly making the wine at well-respected Hattingley Valley where he was already gaining a reputation. He and assistant winemaker, rising star Zoë Driver, craft their sparkling wines from the traditional blend of chardonnay, pinot noir and pinot meunier grown locally in the heart of the chalklands of Hampshire. Black Chalk are just getting started and we can't wait to watch them grow.
