Hemina Pinot Noir Rosé

from £27.00

IEWA - Silver Medal

Hemina is the flagship Rosé of our 2024 collection. Both its fuchsia hue and its bottle are an homage to the wines of Tavel that inspired it.

Made from 100% Pinot Noir, all fruit was harvested on 16 October 2024. Blended from parcels of wine aged in both stainless steel and third-fill Burgundian oak barrels, this is a Rosé with poise and presence.

Strawberry, cherry, rhubarb and grapefruit with a hint of shortcrust pastry and a rising, refreshing acidity. Serve lightly chilled.

IEWA Judges Comments:

"Expressive vibrant expression of English rose, with Pinot shining on both nose and palate."

"Clean and interesting nose, with a well-judged fruit, sweetness and acidity. Subtle raspberry leaf adds lovely layer of detail and complexity."

"Happy with this. Crunchy red fruits and great balance."

"Nice fruit, with raspberry and strawberry characteristics up front."

When naming this wine, as has become custom, we looked back to the Fortieth Rule of the Rule of St Benedict. A "hemina" is an old Roman measurement of liquid (roughly 274 ml) and is the daily wine allowance for monks in the Rule (it was assumed that they weren’t strong enough to abstain from drinking). Warning: this Pinot Noir Rosé is so good it will be incredibly difficult to stop at one “hemina”.
