The 2020 Rosé is a fragrant wine with notes of gooseberry, raspberry, roses, and a touch of barley sugar on the finish. Though off-dry, its acidity gives it a drier finish.

Service: Serve chilled at 10°C.

Food Pairing: This lovely wine is enjoyable on its own or goes well with charcuterie, and spiced chicken curry.

The story of Easing Hill Vineyard started 15 years ago when owners, Judith and Tim Davies, planted 400 vines as a hobby on a small area of hillside at their home in Worcestershire. Their first attempt at keeping pet sheep and goats wasn’t for them, and they opted for growing vines despite knowing it would be an arduous task as the hillside was so steep and they’d have to cultivate the vines by hand. Their instincts were spot on as they discovered that throughout the ages, their land had already been used for grape growing at least as far back as 1604, but also possibly by the Romans. With the help of their four children, they established their estate, working the vines spread over 2.5 acre land by hand without using any herbicides or insecticides and also managed to produce their own solar electricity. Today they produce three wines including a still rosé, a still white and a sparkling wine.

1* Up & Coming

Easing Hill Vineyard demonstrates a commitment to sustainable wine production as evidenced by its accreditation (and founding member status) as a Sustainable Vineyard by Wines of Great Britain. The vineyard prioritises the natural environment by promoting wild flora and avoiding the use of herbicides, insecticides, and fungicides. Their steep, well-drained terrain contributes to the robustness of their vines, and the vineyard utilises solar energy in its production processes.

While the vineyard does not hold organic certification, its sustainable practices, such as hand-tending vines and fostering a biodiverse ecosystem, show an appreciation for eco-friendly approaches. Easing Hill Vineyard's history and recent transition to retirement-driven full-time viticulture underline a dedication to low-intervention winemaking.
