90 points, “A floral, pretty nose of red cherry and sweet peach emerges, thanks to aromatic yeasts used during a slow fermentation. Surprisingly saline and rounded on the palate, it presents vibrant strawberry notes and grapefruit zest for freshness. This Pinot Noir rosé hasn't undergone malolactic fermentation, thus retaining its bright acidity and drive. However, it has been left on lees for some time (bottled in spring 2023), providing the wine with a textured mouthfeel and extra depth” - Decanter
Silver award-winning Railway Hill Rosé is judged to be a wine that "delivers a light strawberry nose with some candied fruit notes” by the panel at the International Wine Challenge, with the judges stating that it’s “perfect for the summer lawns of Kent”. This 100% Pinot Noir rosé exudes elegance and refinement not just with the shape of its bottle but by the pale pink hued wine inside.
The delicate mélange of wild strawberry, tangy pink grapefruit, watermelon, redcurrant, peach and lychee are crisp, refreshing and delightfully smooth leaving a rounded texture, depth and mouthfeel. A perfect partner to picnics, buttery asparagus, fennel and herb salads, paella, or crisp skinned salmon with Jersey Royals, this immensely versatile and exciting English rosé is proving English wines are more than capable to stand up to France's well-established vineyards.
Located just outside Canterbury – which is twinned with Reims in the heart of Champagne and has very similar lime-rich chalky soils – you’ll discover Simpsons Wine Estate. Ruth and Charles Simpson spent 17 years perfecting their art at their award-winning Domaine de Sainte Rose in Languedoc before setting up their new venture in the stunning Elham Valley in 2012. This kind of winemaking pedigree is somewhat of a rarity in English wine as many of the recent surges in new winery openings have been set up by people who have made money in The City and are looking for a new challenge.
