A pale salmon pink English sparkling wine, the 1086 Rosé 2016 is a blend of 72% Chardonnay and 28% Pinot Noir grown on greensand and chalk soils. Aged for over 60 months on the lees, it delivers lively cherry and ripe apricot fruit, a gentle leesy complexity, and a fine, persistent mousse. The high acidity is perfectly balanced by the dosage, giving a rich, mouth-filling texture that leads to a long, elegant finish. This wine feels remarkably youthful and poised for further bottle ageing.
