Tasting Notes
The De Grendel Proposal Hill Brut Rosé 2023 enchants with a soft, pale pink hue and an energetic stream of fine, persistent bubbles. On the nose, aromas of wild strawberries, raspberries, and rose petals rise gracefully, layered with a subtle hint of brioche. The palate is crisp and refreshing, showcasing vibrant red berry fruit balanced by a refined minerality and taut acidity. A whisper of citrus zest lingers on the elegant, dry finish, leaving a lasting impression of finesse and purity.

Food Complements
Perfect for any occasion, this sparkling rosé pairs beautifully with smoked salmon and cream cheese bagels at brunch, sushi or grilled prawns for a main course, and berry pavlova or macarons for dessert. It also shines alongside canapés like prosciutto-wrapped melon or soft cheeses at informal gatherings.

Vintage
The winter season started earlier than usual, and March was a very wet month. Veraison started early but continued for a long time. Harvest was also early - 11 days earlier than the previous year - and stopped fourteen days earlier than in 2022. The temperatures were moderate with few heat waves. The bunches and berries were much smaller and compact this year.
