Mayfield Expression Brut Rosé 2010

This has all the qualities that made the 2009 so popular but with a little more precision and minerality. Dosage is a little higher at 11 g/L to balance the refreshing lift on the finish. There’s a nice touch of red fruit on the nose and when you first taste the wine that deepens, develops and dances on the tongue.

Please see our stockists for prices or contact us if you would like to buy a case of six bottles or more direct from the vineyard.

 

Mayfield Expression Brut Rosé 2009  (Sold out)

(We have kept a small reserve to share at future vertical tastings with members of our Members Circle and Sommeliers’ Circle)

Mayfield Expression Brut Rosé 2009 was our first vintage. It is a distinctive rosé reflecting extended maceration on the skins & a long cool fermentation. Characterised by lovely fresh acidity, red fruit flavours and the   enticing aromas of summer berries which follow through onto the palate. The bottles spent 24 months on the lees before being disgorged.

Dosage was 10g/l to give a rich, yet still dry finish. We are great believers in allowing the wine time to integrate and develop after dosage, keeping the wine cellared for at least 4 months prior to release.  For us it is the perfect expression of our Hobdens Vineyard. 
This was our first vintage , our  core cuvée: made using the saignée method of slow maceration on the skins to keep all those good tastes in the wine.
