  • 'English Wine Is a Particularly Exciting Industry to Be in Precisely Because
    96 | IMBIBE.COM | ENGLISH & WELSH WINE NEW frontiers The burgeoning English and Welsh wine scene is awash with innovation, finds Peter Richards MW obb and Nicola Merchant are proud of many things at their White Castle Vineyard in Abergavenny, Wales. One of them is their fortified red wine ‘1581’, made from the Regent grape variety and aged for several years in barrel. RAnother is the Cabernet Franc they planted to celebrate their 10th anniversary in 2019. ‘It’s a really exciting time in Wales at the moment,’ grins Robb. ‘Our focus is on Welsh identity and quality. No compromise.’ While the notion of Welsh fortified or Cabernet Franc may raise eyebrows, the Merchants are far from atypical in the context of modern English and Welsh wine. Experimentation, innovation ‘English wine is and diversification are words ringing round UK vineyards as a particularly exciting winemakers feed off the momentum of a fast-growing and increasingly popular UK wine scene. industry to be in precisely because we’re not bound A SPARKLING SUCCESS Of course, that momentum has largely been generated by up in red tape’ one specific wine category: traditional method sparkling wine. Mark Harvey Although the history of English and Welsh viticulture is largely a story of still wine, the move to quality-driven traditional method fizz that began from the late 1980s onwards transformed this fledgling industry, attracting investment from champagne houses such as Pommery and Taittinger along the way. Such has been the success of traditional method fizz that two in every three bottles of English and Welsh wine are sparkling, and these are almost exclusively made by the traditional method (99%, according to trade organisation WineGB).

    HATTINGLEY VALLEY ROSÉ 2014 HATTINGLEY VALLEY || Hattingley Valley was founded in 2008 by Simon and Nicola Robinson in Hampshire, England with its chalky soils and climate ideally suited for sparkling wines. They planted their first 7.3 hectares on a south-facing site with Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier using laser-guided planting technology. Today, the team manages over 24 hectares (60 acres) of vines across two well-situated sites. Led by winemaker Emma Rice, Hattingley sparkling wines are all made in the traditional method with the highest quality standards – leading the charge for the English Sparkling Wine movement. HAMPSHIRE, ENGLAND || Located in the Central South, Hampshire benefits from the chalky limestone soil and cool climate growing conditions that closely mirror those found in Champagne. Hampshire is home to the first estalished commercial wine producer, founded in 1951. The best vineyards tend to be south facing, benefitting from increased sun exposure. ROSÉ 2014 || BLEND | 60% Pinot Noir, 38% Pinot Meunier & 2% Pinot Precoce VINEYARDS | Sourced from vineyards across the South of England, mainly chalk with clay topsoil. WINEMAKING | Approximately 8% of the blend is fermented in 4-5 year old Burgundy barrels. Before tirage, the base wine is blended with 5% red wine made from the Pinot Precoce to give a delicate soft pink colour and some vibrant red fruit flavours. The wine spent 2 years ageing on lees in the bottle before being disgorged. ALCOHOL | 12% DOSAGE | 8g/l PRESS | 92 WA “This is a very impressive sparkling Rosé.
