Alice’s Cuvée
The success of our harvest in 2018 led to the creation of two of our sparkling wines, Alice’s Cuvée being our rosé. It is made using a blend of our Seyval and Madeleine Angevine grapes, as well as some Rondo, which gives the sparkling wine its gentle blushing colour.
Alice is Henry’s only daughter, and the youngest Wilson of the third generation. Her career in teaching took a sharp turn to a career in wedding and events planning, and since then Alice has gone on to really bring Little Wold Vineyard to life.
Tasting notes
This rosé epitomises British summer time; its aromas are reminiscent of freshly picked berries and clotted cream. On the palette, the red berry flavour continues to dominate, and is completed with a crisp finish.
Winemaking & Ageing
Currently, our sparkling wines are made at Half Penny Green, where they undergo the traditional double fermentation method. This longer process creates more depth within the wine, as the fermentation lees are broken down further while they are left to rest. The sparkling wine is then disgorged and corked. Before making their way back to us.
Pairing
For our only rosé sparkling, we turn to a traditionally classic pairing. A charcuterie board filled with richly cured meats and cheeses will marry perfectly with the summer fruits present in the notes of this wine. The sparkling element of this wine will also cut through the fats, acting as a cleanser as you peruse your way across the board.
Wow; the lightest blush and most beautiful cuvée, I think I may have even found a new favourite.
