WHAT WE SAY
The Grange PINK NV like Champagne is a blend of two red grapes, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier that has been aged on the lees for a considerable amount of time. Beautifully pale with fine bubbles, the red fruit aromas are fresh and enticing. The flavours are long and persistent with a round creamy texture and a lovely vibrant and refreshing finish that makes you want to go back for more.
WHAT THEY SAY
A pale onion skin crossed with white peach threaded with a persistent, fine mousse.
The nose shows ripe red berry fruits - wild strawberry and cherries - overlaid with heady summer florals all held in a soft and bready frame. The addition of the 2015 and 2016 reserve wines bring a further layer of complexity with toasted nuts and sweet spice.
Thanks to the long lees ageing it is rich and round on the palate, with notes of raspberry, cranberry and redcurrant held in a delightful creaminess, but the fresh acidity provides the perfect balance and leads to a refreshing but persistent and luxurious finish.

About The Grange
The beautiful Grange Estate is on the Hampshire Downs at the Western end of the South Downs, just East of Winchester. Owned by the Barings for 200 years it’s a real family affair which is overseen by the youngest of four siblings, Zam.
The family planted 52,000 vines in 2011 on a 30 acre south facing slope called Burgess Field which overlooks the River Itchen. Great wines are made in the vineyard and this is the perfect spot to grow great grapes with hundreds of metres of white chalk just below the surface in common with Champagnes famous vineyards.
So having planted the Champagne grape varieties of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Pinot Meunier, Zam set about establishing a fully equipped winery and cellar and recruiting some of
the best young talent around to ensure the best wines possible were being made.
Samuel Philippot runs the vineyard having spent time in vineyards in Bordeaux and the South of France, and Harry Pickering left Gusborne to set up the winery. He’s ably assisted by Juan Montenegro who had previously worked with Emma Rice at Hattingly Valley.
