Henners Pinot Noir Rose 2024: Summer in a Glass
Rose 12.5% ABV ABV HennersNice but a bit steep
The wine shop guy recommended this as a good English rosé and it's perfectly pleasant — dry, light berry flavours, goes down easy. But honestly for over £22 I expected to be a bit more blown away. I've had French rosés at half the price that I enjoyed just as much.
Lovely with fish
Had this with grilled salmon and it was a great match. There's a citrusy thing going on at the end that really works with food. Bone dry which is exactly what I want from a rosé. Nice to support an English producer too.
Birthday treat!
My partner got me this for my birthday and I absolutely loved it. It's got this really clean taste — kind of like wild berries and blood orange? Not your typical fruity rosé at all, much more grown up. Would make a brilliant gift for anyone who thinks they don't like rosé.
Perfect garden wine
Picked this up for a barbecue last weekend and it was a massive hit. Really refreshing with a nice dry finish — none of that sickly sweet stuff you sometimes get with rosé. You can taste the redcurrant and there's a bit of peach in there too. At £22 it's not cheap but I'd definitely buy it again for a special occasion.
