Rosé de Blancs 2020 £295.00
The 2020 vintage was the hottest and driest yet at Hundred Hills. A beautiful spring brought strong bud-burst in mid-April, and despite some mid-May frost scares, the vines progressed into a strong mid-June flowering.
Very little summer rain led to unusually small berries in both Chardonnays and Pinot Noir, and by early September the grapes were ripening well. A cool autumn slowed things down, allowing the small berries to develop unusual intensity and complexity. Harvest began on 5th October and, with excellent, homogeneous ripeness across all vineyard parcels was far simpler than usual.
Rooted in the Blanc de Blancs tradition, this rosé is built on a foundation of Chardonnay base wines, with a small and deliberate addition of Pinot Noir lending a blush of colour and red fruit character. The result is a Rosé de Blancs that retains the precision, tension, and structure expected from a Blanc de Blancs, while offering just enough fruit complexity to set it apart.

Rosé de Blancs 2020
6 x Rosé de Blancs 2020
Red fruits and delicate raspberry notes sit alongside bright citrus on the nose, with Meyer lemon carrying through to a clean, focused finish. The palate is finely structured, with a finesse and balance that reflects the blended rosé approach. Elegant, vibrant, and subtly complex, this is a rosé that speaks clearly of its origins.
