In 1999 I decided to dedicate a small area of my vineyard to grow blackcurrants for producing a Crème de Cassis which I used as a dosage to craft a Kir Royale.  I believe it was the only rosé wine of its kind in England, and proved to be widely appreciated.

To mark Breaky Bottom’s 50th anniversary I have revived this cuvée by disgorging just 1,000 bottles of my 2019 Seyval Blanc with cassis made from our own blackcurrants.

The wine has a light blush pink colour, with a lively and appealing mousse.  Aromatically the wine is cheerful and unpretentious – there is light and fragrant citrus, slight floral notes with berry fruit hints.  A crisp citrus and green apple bite is met with subtle berry flavours.  The blackcurrant undertones make this an enjoyable and delightfully playful wine.

1,000 bottles produced.   Varietals: Seyval Blanc and Crème de Cassis.  ABV: 12%
