Black Chalk, Wild Rose, Hampshire, England 2021

£42-£45 Black Chalk, Caviste, Grape Britannia, Lea & Sandeman, Reserve Wines, The Wine Society

Lean, crisp and saline, this is a delicately perfumed pink with understated notes of rose, peony and strawberry leaf balancing a tangy, sherbet-like palate. Cool, chiselled finesse. Wild Rose by name – and by nature. HN Alc 12%

The Wine Society, The Society’s Rosé Brut, Champagne, France NV

£39.31 The Wine Society

Made by Alfred Gratien, this is a soft, slightly unctuous Champagne with a delicious, moreish mid-palate weight. The cranberry, strawberry and cherry fruit are covered with a thin honeyed glaze, while also lifted by zesty pink citrus and red apple crispness. The creamy mousse adds to the inviting immediacy and food-friendliness. A versatile, crowdpleasing wine that will work perfectly as an aperitif or alongside seafood, canapés and charcuterie.
