This is a serious Rosé
£29.00
There’s no point in calling ourselves the heretics if we do the same as everyone else, is there? So, we took a punt and decided to barrel ferment all of this (we’re big fans of Les Clans) Pinot Noir, also from Missing Gate vineyard.
There’s no clear glass bottles here getting rapidly damaged by light (sorry, it’s a thing); we are protecting this beauty in our signature black bottles; some people will hate that, but there are always ‘some people’. All old Burgundy barrels with a bit of lees stirring, this is a serious Rosé.
So, how does it taste? It has more depth to it than most Rosé wines and a better complexity. So can you drink it on its own? Hell yeah, but it’s also a winner for Sunday lunch or accompanying some Waygu beef on the BBQ. It turns out real men can drink Rosé after all.
And there’s even a few more reviews…
‘Delicately floral and dangerously raw, infinitesimally layered and fragilely crystalline, unnervingly stern and fleetingly exotic, this is a kaleidoscopically fascinating wine, and the finish alone takes you into next week. I commend this wine to you. It is the most shocking and convincing debut launch of any English wine in my entire wine career’
Matthew Jukes, Vineyard Magazine May 2024
‘This is so, so good, I’d drink this over expensive Provence Rosé any day’

If you really do need it quicker, give us a shout, but there’s only two of us doing it, just FYI. Spend £75 or more and we’ll send it for free too.

Really liked the label so thought I would give it a whirl should have grabbed two… super interesting wine. Definitely not your run of the mill rose.

In the ven diagram of ‘I don’t really like rose’ and ‘born and bred Essex boy’ I proudly sit right in the middle – so I took a leap hoping the fruit from my neck of the woods would win me round. Win it did. The boys from Heretics have done amazing work – it feels like a disservice to just call it an amazing rose when fact is it’s an amazing wine regardless of it’s shade of pink. Sure drink it the sun (if you can find any) but do yourself a favour and drink it in the deep dark winter too – in fact, just drink it as much as possible, you won’t regret it. Right, now I’m off to drink more rose and draw another diagram.

Absolutely brilliantly crafted English Rose from a great team! Most importantly the wine stands up to the exceptionally executed packaging. Bravo!!
Gareth Maxwell –
Means a lot coming from you Charles, worth looking at http://www.simpsonswine.com for more top quality English wines. Much love, G&J

This isn’t a rose for swigging with ice cubes on a hot summer afternoon. It’s a serious wine. It’s especially good for serving to snobs who say they don’t like rose. Lovely stuff.
Gareth Maxwell –
That’s a great review and exactly what we think. The tasting note on our upcoming chardonnay says ‘for those who think they don’t like chardonnay!’ Much love, G&J
Linda (verified owner) –
Without a doubt, this is the best Rosé wine, we have ever had the pleasure of tasting.. It’s tempting not to share with friends, but we did and everyone has loved it. We have saved a bottle for a special occasion, but my advice…don’t wait for that special occasion, try it now and you will not really want to drink any other Rosé! Congratulations to The Heretics!
Gareth Maxwell –
Linda, what else can we say? That’s so kind of you. everyone, #bemoreLinda xx
Jack Bartholomew –
Brilliant to see new and interesting wines coming onto the market. This rose is elegant, delicious with an excellent structure and good length on finish. The attention to detail with labelling, wax tops and packaging, all superb. Really impressive – I’m sure this brand will fly, if it isn’t already.
