Simpsons Railway Hill Rosé 2023

Pale, pink, and Provençal - well, nearly. This comes from the North Downs near Canterbury, making it a quintessentially English twist on that sun-soaked, laid-back style. Pinot Noir from Simpson's Railway Hill vineyard gives fresh aromas of watermelon and lychee, followed by peachy, stone-fruit flavours and a smooth, silky texture. Dry, crisp, and delicately fruity, it's got just the right balance of freshness and ripeness. Its delicate aromas and attractive colour capture the essence of summer perfectly - clean, refreshing, and effortlessly enjoyable. Stylish English rosé with plenty of charm.

Perfect summer drinking, whether you're firing up the barbecue or just pretending it's warm enough. Spot on with grilled lemon and herb chicken, barbecued prawns, or charred courgettes and red peppers - fresh, fruity, and effortlessly easy.

Simpsons Wine Estate is run by husband-and-wife team Charles and Ruth Simpson, who bring winemaking savoir-faire honed at their South of France estate to the Elham Valley. Nestled in the North Downs of Kent, the vineyards sit on lime-rich chalk soils - part of the same seam that runs through Champagne and Burgundy - and benefit from cooling maritime breezes just eight miles from the coast. The result is wines with clarity, freshness and poise. Combining international experience with a strong sense of place, Simpsons has emerged as a thoughtful and distinctive presence in English wine.
