We think you might just like them…
Ancre Hill Chardonnay 2009 – Having spent 5 years on the lees, this 100% Chardonnay has developed subtle but complex aromas of citrus fruit, brioche and white flowers. The nose develops in the glass, a hint of spice and a touch of peach over layering freshness and purity within the wine. The palate has a creamy mousse, vibrant acidity and fine delicate finish.
Ancre Hill Rose 2010 – This Rose is a delightful fresh sparkler with a luxurious delicate salmon pink colour made from Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes. The wine has a beautiful soft perfumed nose, with aromas of wild strawberry, summer pudding and toasted brioche, soft bubbles on the palate, with a subtle balance of delicate berries and texture on the finish.
