Bluebell Vineyard Estates, Hindleap, Brut Rose, East Sussex, England, 2010

Tasting: UK Sparkling

Attractive rusty orange shade. Sophisticated and open-knit nose. Juicy, crisp red apple fruit. Nothing autolytic though. Smooth, medium length.

Tasting: UK Sparkling

Really quite orange in colour, with steadily rising bubbles. Not so much primary fruit on the nose – a bit of hand cream. The palate is dry, and dominated by savoury secondary characters

Tasting: UK Sparkling

Pale onion skin colour with fresh notice. On the palate a slightly tired feel, especially considering its a 2010, but well-balanced with mid-length finish.
