Balfour Brut Rosé is one of England’s most
recognisable wines, our flagship, and for six years
the only wine made by Balfour. It is a single vineyard wine from our Oast House Meadow
vineyard, planted in 2002 with clones and
rootstocks specifically chosen to make a world class sparkling rosé. From vines on Wealden Clay, the grapes are full of richness and intense flavour.
To maximise this character, the grapes are often the last to be picked on Hush Heath Estate, and to emphasise the purity of the fruit the wine
never undergoes malolactic fermentation. It is a wine of intense concentration that embraces precision and fresh English acidity.
