Plantagenet - Three Lions Rose 750ml
"Cabernet was harvested in the cool early hours, destemmed and gently crushed directly into the press for a brief two hours of skin contact. The free-run juice was handled oxidatively and rested on full solids for four days before rough racking and inoculation with a Champagne yeast strain. A slow, cool fermentation followed, preserving the wine’s aromatic purity and fine texture. The finished wine was matured unsulphured on Riesling lees in stainless steel for four months, enhancing mouthfeel.
Appearance: Pale blush.
Aroma: Vibrant aromas of spicy grapefruit and fresh cherry are layered with notes of candied orange blossom and a subtle hint of cinnamon spice.
Palate: Bright and zesty, the palate bursts with lively citrus and red berry flavours. Gentle lees contact adds a fine, textural mid-palate, balancing the dry, elegant style. The finish is crisp, refreshing and mouth-watering." - Plantagenet
