Tasting Notes
This English pink has a glistening pale pink colour. They have fragrant notes of red berries and delicate strawberry. The palate is concentrated with summer fruits with a creamy texture and a crisp dry finish and more-ish length. The wine is a blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier grown on clay soil. The grapes are handled carefully and fermented in stainless steel at cool temperatures to ensure fresh delicate aromas and flavours come through in the final wine.
Food
Pairs well with fish, white meats and salads. Also has fresh acidity that goes well with more robust foods such as roast or BBQ meat and tomato-based dishes.
Producer
Old friends, Clem and Sam, both have a passion for good wine. Clem Yates is a Master of Wine who has spent the last 20 years making wine around the world while Sam has a background in events, hospitality and business. It was over a bottle of particularly good rosé in Sam’s Somerset kitchen that they came up with the idea of Pink & Co and started the project to make a high quality English Rose.
Region
If you have never tried an English wine before – well now is your opportunity. The vineyards of England are generally located in the warmer southern counties where the milder influences of the gulf stream have an important effect, as our northern hemisphere vineyards need a longer cooler growing season than in Europe to produce top quality grapes. More than 500 vineyards are in production across the UK and bottled annual sales has reached 3 million bottles, with Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Bacchus the most planted varieties.
