Hampton Water Rosé Languedoc France 2020 This unique rose is made primarily from the Granache (60%) grape variety, blended with Cinsault (15%), Mourvedre (15%) and Syrah (10%) traditional grapes of the French Mediterranean. The wine is fresh and lively with distinctive minerality and a long-lasting finish, intensified by ageing in French oak barrels. Its intense aromas of red fruit, citrus fruit, and spices make it another perfect companion to be shared among friends. On the palate, you'll taste red fruit such as cherry, watermelon, and strawberries, making it the perfect rose for summer nights. Pair this fresh and clean drinking wine with seafood!

This is one of the most important wines that we make at Hattingley, it is the most widely available and arguably one of the most loved. Whilst many people will assume that a ‘vintage’ wine is automatically better (often not the case!), this Non-vintage shows off the skill of Emma’s winemaking. Being able to blend the wines from different grape varieties, different vineyards, barrels and tanks to try and maintain a consistent style is one of the toughest jobs that the winemaking team have to do. This is our all-rounder, our crowd pleaser and a wine that is very easy for all to love!

June 2020. Awards Harvest The 2015 growing season was a test of good site selection and our vineyard team did a wonderful job in challenging conditions - the summer was cooler than the previous year, particularly in August which is the crucial month for veraison and the start of the ripening season. The pinots were super-ripe with wonderful flavours, good acidity levels and deep colour, and good vineyard sites produced some very fine Chardonnay as well. ‘Blending this wine was the Eureka moment – the whole team recognised the distinct Hattingley style immediately it came together in the glass.’Emma RiceHead Winemaker Winemaking The hand-harvested grapes were whole bunch pressed to extract top quality juice. 19% of the total blend was barrel fermented in old white Burgundy barrels and partial malolactic fermentation took place in order to soften the wine’s natural acidity. To ensure the consistency and continuity of our signature style, 23% of reserve wines (that had naturally softened and developed over time in oak barrels and stainless steel tanks) were added to the blend before secondary fermentation. After 3 years ageing on lees in a bottle to add roundness and character, the wine was disgorged with a light dosage of 7 g/L. Tasting Notes Our Classic Reserve is pale gold in colour with delicate and fine long-lasting bubbles. The beautifully complex bouquet combines aromas of green apples with creamy nougat, freshly baked brioche and delicate toasted notes from ageing in bottle. On the palate, the complexity continues with notes of soft lemon sherbet, biscuit and a subtle oak character. Refreshing and perfectly balanced, with a delightfully long finish.

A meaty, cheese, smell. Heavy yeast wine. Very adult. A hint of cream on the aftertaste. As for fruit notes, there’s a bit of strawberry throughout but hard to place where it hits exactly. Maybe this comes through with some dried fruit notes. --Jason Meyer
