Walgate Rosé Traditional Method 2022
Alcohol 12.38% vol. 
Grapes 50% Pinot Meunier & 50% Pinot Noir

Tasting Note
Bright rose gold in appearance with delicate, fine bubbles. Very floral on the nose, with hints of Jasmin, Honeysuckle and Violet followed by freshly baked white bread. Soft, gentle acidity on the palate. Generously weighted, the fine mousse maintains balance. Fleshy raspberry and blood orange complement the added texture from barrel.

Vinification
A blend of Pinot Meunier & Pinot Noir (50/50). The Pinot Meunier grapes were left in the press to bleed overnight (Saignée method), while the Pinot Noir was direct pressed. Fermentation took place in both Oak and stainless steel. The blend was put together the following summer and followed the champagne method. Disgorged 2^nd June 2025 with 8g/l of added sugar.

Grape History
Grapes grown in East Sussex according to Biodynamic and Regenerative principles.
