Description
Hush Heath Estate, situated in Kent, dates back to 1503. At the heart of the property is a Tudor manor surrounded by 162 hectares of perfectly manicured gardens, vineyards and apple orchards. Forward thinking Richard Balfour-Lynn first planted vineyards on the property in 2002, with the aim of making England's finest sparkling Rosé, Balfour Brut.
This is a blend of the three classic Kentish apple varieties – Cox, Bramley and Egremont Russet. As with the champagne, the three varieties each bring a different quality to the blend: Cox is very aromatic, Bramley provides a balanced acidity, and Russet gives body and mouthfeel. The nose is expressive with delicate notes of ripe strawberry and green apple aromas. The palate is off-dry with luscious, creamy and ripe English fruit and a lingering finish.
