Chapel Down, England (United Kingdom) Rosé Sparkling Wine NV ($43)

This wine has picked up several accolades of late, and I’ll add to the chorus here. A blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, Pinot Blanc and what the winery calls “early” Pinot Noir, it’s lightly tinged rose gold in color, with aromas of strawberry, a little cream and bright lemon. It has a long, fruit driven finish that really pushes the strawberry out into the distance. If you’re looking for a fizzy Rosé with a weight and presence, this is it.
