ABOUT THIS WINE
The Wiston Rosé Vintage 2014 is an English sparkling rosé from Wiston Estate Winery in West Sussex, England. The estate has been owned by the Goring family since 1743, with the vineyard planted in 2006. The South Downs region, with its chalk soils, is conducive to high-quality sparkling wine. The 2014 vintage benefited from favorable weather conditions, leading to optimal grape ripening. This wine is distinguished by its complex character, developed through extended lees aging and partial oak fermentation, offering a unique depth and texture.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Wiston Rosé Vintage 2014 is produced using the Traditional Method. Key techniques include fermenting and aging two-thirds of the wine in oak barrels, which imparts texture and elegance. The wine then undergoes secondary fermentation in the bottle and is aged on its lees for approximately three years, developing complexity and structure. A dosage of 8g/l was applied at disgorgement. The estate's winemaking philosophy emphasizes minimal intervention.
