The rosé sparkling wine is produced exclusively from Hambledon’s own estate on the chalk slopes of Windmill Down.
Ian Kellett, owner and managing director of Hambledon, said: “This a major step for us as we keep building the most iconic collection of world-class English sparkling wines.”
This first version of the Première Cuvée Rosé is a blend based on the 2016 harvest, with some reserve wine from Solera tanks and barrels. The wine is crafted in the traditional saignée method, a longer lees ageing, the wine was bottled in 2017 and disgorged in 2022.
The blend is 87.5% saignée Pinot Meunier, 5.2% Red Pinot Noir and 7.3% Chardonnay and is available from UK Fine Wine Merchants in June at an rsp of £75.00.
