Best English rosés for the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee

Very moreish and textural - a great showcase of the evolution of Hambledon's Classic Cuvée pink iteration. Lifted nose, with notes of cranberry, pink grapefruit, cherry pie and almonds. The palate is enveloping and creamy, with crunchy red apples, pears and red cherries topped by a delicious umami aspect of cured cheese and salted nuts.

A great vintage that has seen exceptionally ripe fruits and an early harvest, with acidity level sits at 7g/l, lower than this wine's average. The percentage of Pinot Meunier (30%), on the other hand, is higher than usual. The nose is honeyed and aromatic, with blossom, yellow apple, freshly-picked raspberry and candied orange slices. A ripe palate of acacia honey-glazed lemon, yellow apple and red berries, seasoned with a pinch of cinnamon. Lemon curd and lime zest on the finish. Will certainly gain more complexity and charm with longer ageing under the cork.

A perfumed bouquet of rose petals, peach and red apple with a hint of soya and confected cherry. Having spent 14 months on lees, it was disgorged in July 2020. Spiced and honeyed on the palate, with cinnamon-seasoned cherry and almond tart, plus more peachy creaminess on the palate, leading to umami depth. Red apple peel and honey roasted almonds last till the long finish, with white pepper tingling on the tip of the tongue.

A creamy, intense non-vintage rosé containing 75% reserve wine. Ripe peach, cherry jam, and bruised apple on the nose. Three years on lees add more depth and textural richness to the palate.

Pinot Meunier (47%) plays a more important role in the blend of Champagne trio, giving the sparkling rosé an elegant nose of French toast and cranberry. Crisp and deliciously saline, with a shot of summer berries and crunchy red apple acidity wrapped in a textured palate. Not overly complicated - perfect for outdoor gatherings.

Salmon-pink single estate rosé from the excellent, warm 2018, the second vintage release from Busi Jacobsohn's young and exciting winery near Crowborough, East Sussex. This is a treat; having spent 18 months on lees, it has a fine mousse, featuring Victoria plum and red apple fruit, a tart nudge of red cherry sorbet, and a light almond note. Food-friendly; try seafood sushi. This winery is well worth watching as it develops its wines from a 5ha vineyard in High Weald.

A blend of Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier, the latest release of 'PINK' sparkling fizz is made mainly based on the 2017 vintage with 13% of reserve wine. It has a fresh and complex nose of yeasty summer berries and blossom.

John Davan Sainsbury, Baron Sainsbury of Preston Candover, dreamed of making his own wine ever since touring the vineyards of Champagne as CEO of the UK supermarket Sainsburys in the 1970s. The Hampshire-based Candover Brook estate is run by sons Mark and Julian, who planted a 5ha south-facing slope on silty clay loam soils with a free-draining chalky subsoil. Consultant winemaker is the very experienced Hervé Jestin, chef de cave at Duval Leroy for over 20 years. This is the inaugural release of a non-vintage rosé, 85% from the 2018 vintage, and the remainder from a solera dating back to when the vineyard was planted in 2011. The wine, a blend of 54% Chardonnay, 33% Pinot Noir and 13% Pinot Meunier, aged on lees for 27 months in its secondary fermentation, and has a dosage of 9g/L. It's an accomplished rosé, with vibrant and perfumed, bright red berry fruit that bursts from the glass. On the evidence of this, Candover Brook is an exciting new name on the English wine scene.

A quintessential British Rosé bursting with elegant wild strawberry, red currant and pink grapefruit aromas. The petillance is intense but pleasant, for a fruity palate that has a delicious honeyed lining but is also underpinned by an unmistakable English acidity. Fragrant, inviting yet so precise.
