Vinification & Aging: The production of Hampton Water rosé wine is a meticulous process in which grapes are harvested individually to ensure optimal maturity for each variety. After destemming, the grapes are cooled to 8°C and gently pressed to obtain the rosé must. Particular attention is paid to the pressing process in order to obtain only the highest quality juice. The juices are separated according to the desired aroma profile and fermentation takes place at controlled temperatures for a period of 15 to 30 days. Part of the wine is aged in barrels, while other parts are intended to preserve their fresh and fruity characteristics. Finally, after a light fining, the wines are bottled early to preserve their lively and intense characteristics.
Tasting Notes: Hampton Water captivates at first sight with its elegant and soft pink color. The nose is spoiled by notes of red fruits, citrus fruits and spices.
