Bolney Cuvée Rosé 2018
West Sussex
Bolney Wine Estate is a Sussex based family-run vineyard near Haywards Heath producing award-winning English wines. The beautiful estate is headed up by Sam Linter, who inherited her parents’ love and passion for making wine. It was Sam’s parents who started Bolney in 1972, making the estate one of the first English wine estates. We selected the Bolney Cuvée Rosé 2018 which is a delicious, elegant and delicate single vintage. A blush pink in colour, the wine is the perfect accompaniment to sit back and enjoy the September sun. The wine pairs perfectly with light bites, starters, cheese, fish and desserts with red berry flavours. Bolney Wine Estate also offers a series of tours and tastings for you to delve deeper into all things English wine.
