Chet and Waveney, Regent, dry rosé, 2017, England

England produces alot rosé and some are light with little taste and some are full of flavour like this one from Chet and Waveney in Norfolk. Made from the Regent grape, this 2017 vintage has smells of strawberries, redcurrant and hints of cream soda, it’s delightful. Theres a lot of flavour in this and good flavours. On taste front you get what you smell with a bit of raspberry. Well balanced and very smooth this is an outstanding rosé from any country. With or without food this is wonderful. The Redwing line is the latest Regent which I think retails at about £12 a bottle and is very good value, one of my top 5 rosé wines.

Chet & Waveney Schonberger rose 2017

The Chet & Waveney Schonberger rose wine not  made from a typical grape. Schonberger is widely planted in Germany but you don’t see it much in the UK. This is a dry, light, refreshing rose with subtle flavours of wild strawberry, an easy drinking summer wine along the lines of that from Provence. £12 a bottle is what you pay for english rose. Probably not an everyday drinking wine given the price but it does show that english rose can match Provence.
