Ashling Park Rose 2014

Clara Johansson - Good with food

7/10

Saw this on a restaurant menu and thought I'd give English rosé a go. It's got a nice acidity that cuts through richer food — had it with salmon and it worked really well. There's a bit of depth to it that surprised me honestly. Would buy a bottle for home if I spotted it.

Ravi Krishnan - Solid English rosé

7/10

Had this at a friend's barbecue and liked it enough to track down a bottle myself. It's got a nice crispness to it and there's more going on than your average rosé — kept noticing different things as I drank it. Not sure I'd buy it every week at that price but it's a proper wine, not just pink water.

Olivia Park - Birthday treat that delivered

8/10

Got this as a birthday present and wow, it's from 2014 so I wasn't sure what to expect but it's still tasting brilliant. Really focused flavours, nothing tired about it at all. Light enough at 12% that we polished off the bottle over lunch without feeling rough. Proper treat.

Grace Kim - Nice but a bit pricey for what it is

6/10

The wine shop guy recommended this as a good English rosé and it is nice, don't get me wrong. Clean finish, well made, easy to drink. But £34 for a rosé is a tough sell when you can get something perfectly decent from Provence for half that. I'd have it again if someone else was buying.

Jorge Castillo - Really impressed with this

8/10

Picked this up for a dinner party and it went down brilliantly. Lovely pink colour and it smells gorgeous straight out of the bottle — really fresh and clean. Good balance of fruity and dry, everyone kept going back for more. At £34 it's not cheap but it felt worth it for a special occasion.
