Unveiling the Allure of Ashling Park Estate Sparkling Rosé: A Tasting Journey

A Toast to English Excellence

The General Wine Company is proud to showcase the award-winning Ashling Park Estate Sparkling Rosé. This exquisite English sparkling wine, meticulously crafted in the South Downs of Hampshire, offers a captivating sensory experience.

Visual Delight:

As you pour yourself a glass, the Ashling Park Estate Sparkling Rosé unveils a beautiful rosy-gold hue. Fine, persistent bubbles rise briskly to the surface, creating a visually captivating dance.

Aromatic Enchantment:

On the nose, the wine unfolds with a symphony of enticing aromas. Sun-warmed summer fruits take centre stage, with notes of ripe strawberries, raspberries, and delicate redcurrants. Hints of citrus zest add a touch of vibrancy, while subtle floral notes of rose and elderflower add a touch of elegance.

A Taste of English Terroir:

The first sip of Ashling Park Estate Sparkling Rosé is a delightful revelation. The palate is greeted by a burst of fresh red fruit flavours, mirroring the aromas. The wine displays a beautiful balance between sweetness and acidity, with a refreshing crispness that lingers on the finish. The influence of the chalky South Downs terroir is evident in the subtle minerality that adds a layer of complexity to the flavour profile.

Food Pairings to Elevate Your Experience:

Ashling Park Estate Sparkling Rosé is a versatile food pairing companion. Its elegant profile makes it a fantastic choice as an aperitif, perfect for setting the tone for a celebratory meal or a relaxed gathering with friends.

  • Canapés and Starters: Pair the wine with a selection of light and flavourful canapés. Consider smoked salmon blinis with crème fraîche and dill, or miniature goat cheese tarts with caramelised onions. For a vegetarian option, try asparagus wrapped in prosciutto or grilled halloumi with a drizzle of honey.

     
  • Seafood: The vibrant acidity of the wine cuts beautifully through the richness of seafood dishes. Seared scallops with lemon butter sauce, grilled prawns with aioli, or smoked salmon with a creamy dill sauce are all excellent matches.

     
  • Salads: Ashling Park Estate Sparkling Rosé elevates a simple salad into a gourmet experience. Pair it with a summer salad featuring grilled chicken, goat cheese, and balsamic vinaigrette, or a Nicoise salad with tuna, olives, and hard-boiled eggs.

     
  • Afternoon Tea: For a touch of elegance, consider enjoying a glass of Ashling Park Estate Sparkling Rosé alongside a traditional afternoon tea. The wine's delicate sweetness complements scones with clotted cream and jam, as well as delicate pastries and finger sandwiches.

     

Serving Suggestions:

To fully appreciate the captivating character of Ashling Park Estate Sparkling Rosé, ensure it's served chilled, ideally between 8-10°C. Utilise a flute glass to best capture the delicate mousse and persistent bubbles.
