Balfour Nannette’s Rosé (Rosé)

More from this producer: Balfour

  • 2024

    Located in the centre of Kent, an area once known for its fruit orchards and hops, this increasingly successful estate is currently being guided by the second generation, Fergus Elias, A complex blend of different clones (Fergus's passion), this predominantly Meunier blend is a pale pink and some serious depth. Far from being a fruity style, it starts off with linear freshness, only revealing some darker cherry fruit and creamy richness as it opens in the glass.
