Vibrant, fun, super-tasty, and really pink

We’re shaking up sparkling wine in the UK with our flagship fizz. We call it Charmat, after the method of making the bubbles. It’s different to most of the sparkling wine out there, and we think it’s more fun.

Super-fresh, fruit-forward, and endlessly drinkable, Charmat is sparkling wine without pretension.

Perfect for kicking off celebrations or chilled sipping, these are bubbles made to enjoy. There’s always a reason to crack a bottle of Charmat.

"Bold bright almost neon pink in the glass and delivers a vibrant smash of strawberries and red currents in the mouth. Party time!"

Libby Brodie, City AM Newspaper

"Incredible fruit purity - raspberry and red cherry - with balancing acidity, dry & moreish. This is clever winemaking to get something so good from the simpler tank method"

Sam Caporn MW

Charmat Rosé is strikingly pink in colour and has the flavours and fun-factor to match. Vibrant and tangy red fruits - strawberry, redcurrant and cherry - energetic fizz, and mouth-watering acidity, with just a hint of creaminess.

Food Pairing

Charmat Rosé matches up perfectly with light, vibrant, flavour-filled foods - so think zesty salads, seafood platters, or charcuterie boards. Ideal for picnics in any weather, late lunches, spontaneous celebrations, or laid-back evenings with friends.

Technical Notes

Grape varieties:
Rondo (31 %), Pinot Noir (24 %), Bacchus (13 %), Cabernet Cortis (12 %), Reichensteiner (10 %), Dunklefelder, (5 %), , Pinot Blanc (5 %).

Alcohol:
11.5 %. No chaptalisation (the addition of sugar to adjust abv) meaning the alcohol comes 100 % from natural sugars.

Titratable acidity:
8.5 g / L - fresh and crisp but balanced and light for a sparkling wine.

Residual sugar:
7.5 g / L - puts the wine in Brut territory. Dry when compared to Italian fizz but slightly sweeter than traditional method fizz.

Vinification

Highly aromatic, early ripening grape varieties picked just on the cusp of ripeness to provide a balance of aroma, acidity and flavour. Crushed and de-stemmed before pressing gently under a nitrogen blanket to retain fruit flavour and colour.

Fermentation in stainless steel using a variety of yeast strains selected to enhance fruit character. The wine was quickly racked off gross lees with 15 % of the wine being held back as reserve in barrel for the following year.

The key to the wine is in the blending. Each variety adds its own character and the incorporation of reserve wines from previous vintages lends depth. The blended base wine was then re-fermented in specialist isobaric 'Charmat' tanks to create a natural and delicate effervescence.
