Embracing British Rosé Week in true Amelia fashion

Last Friday we celebrated British Rosé Week!

Thank you so much @wineawaytheday and @eatsleep_winerepeat for hosting such a fascinating and SUPER FUN tasting!

In its 6th year, British Rosé Week offered a compelling snapshot of just how far English rosé has come.

From sparkling to still, from Sussex to Essex and beyond, it was such a joy to taste such a diverse lineup of British rosés all in one place. Each with its own personality, style and expression of where it came from.

Highlights included:

Huzzah @ambrielsparkling , Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier, Sussex
USP: 83 Months on lees which gives extra texture and complexity
Gorgeous garnet hue, red berries, orange zest and clove

@carvershill Estate, 85% Pinot Noir 15% Pinot Précoce, Wiltshire
USP: Brand new release!
Succulent, sappy, lifted red plum fruit

@charlespalmervineyards , Pinot Noir 2022, Sussex

Flinty, saline, rich dark fruit

@alburyvineyard Silent Pool, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier 2025, Surrey

@blackbookwinery , I’d Rather be a Rebel Rosé, Pinot Noir 2022, Essex
