Flint Vineyard, Charmat Rosé

Description

Since its establishment in 2016, Flint Vineyard has developed a reputation as one of England’s best wineries. Owners Ben and Hannah made the decision to pursue their love of wine back in 2007, quitting their jobs, before eventually setting up their own vineyards on home soil when they joined forces with Norfolk farmer Adrian Hipwell to form Flint Vineyards. Ben has a first class degree from Plumpton wine college and did a stint of winemaking in Beaujolais. The Charmat method involves a secondary fermentation in tank rather than bottle, similar to the method used in Prosecco. The wine is a blend of four aromatic German grape varieties: Solaris, Reichenstiner, Cabernet Cortis and Rondo and a portion is aged in oak and undergoes lees stirring, giving extra body and texture.
