Continued success for second sparkling rose release
With the immense success of our first ever rosé (2011 vintage) winning the top accolade of Best Vintage Rosé at The Champagne & Sparkling Wine World Championships in 2014, there was pressure on our second release (2013 vintage), to be equally as exquisite. Our winemakers were delighted with the result and were convinced it was just as good, if not better. It appears that the judges agreed! The first awards competition that the 2013 Rosé entered was the Sommelier Wine Awards where it took home a gold medal. Winemaker Jacob Leadley commented "this award makes us particularly proud given it’s the best Sommeliers judging the wines and they are the ones championing our wines face to face with consumers in bars and restaurants in a marketplace full of top quality wines so for this we are extremely grateful they enjoy the delicate style of Rosé we aspire to produce". At the recent English and Welsh Wine of the Year Competition our Rosé picked up a gold medal as well as the trophy for Most Outstanding Sparkling Rosé Wine at the awards ceremony. Hattingley Valley's success didn't end there for the night as Emma Rice was crowned their Winemaker of the Year. This is the second time Rice has won it and is the first woman to achieve this honour which she is delighted by. 2013 Rosé varieties: Pinot Noir 59%, Pinot Meunier 36%, Pinot Précoce 5% Buy our award winning sparkling Rosé here: http://www.hattingleyvalley.co.uk/product/rose/
