East Anglia might not be the first place you think of for premium English wines, but Norfolk is one of the driest and sunniest regions of the UK, making it perfect for vines. That is why winemaker Ben Witchell has been passionately cultivating Flint Vineyard over the past decade. His Charmat Rosé is like summer in a glass, and it has gained notoriety with wine critics and locals alike. It was the first sparkling wine to be made in the UK using the Charmat method, most commonly used in Prosecco, to create a dry but fruit-driven sparkling wine. Take a whiff and you’ll find aromas of fresh red cherries and raspberries, as well as delicious hints of Victoria sponge cake. The fruit carries into the palate, which is soft and round with effervescence.
