WINE REVIEW

This is quite possibly one of the most consistently delicious and indulgent English sparkling rosé wines out there. Coolhurst burst onto the scene with the stunning Lady Elizabeth Rosé to critical acclaim back in 2017 with their 2014 vintage, and it’s not let them down since.

Made from the brilliant 2018 vintage, famed for its warm and bountiful fruit, this is 100% Pinot Noir that has spent some four years on lees and was released with 6g/l dosage. The colour is stunning: salmon pink and striking the balance between subtle and expressive.

The nose immediately grabs you with its ripe red summer berries, candied red apple and pastry complexities.

A joy to taste, Lady Elizabeth expresses both restraint in the form of racy acidity and tangy redcurrant up-front, before the summer berry flavours kick in. Charismatically Pinot in character, this cherry-laced beauty continues to richer sourdough and biscuit sophistication. It’s an involving rosé, but it’s still got that refreshing, crisp zing that strikes the perfect balance.
