Blackbook I'd Rather Be A Rebel Rosé

Blackbook I'd Rather Be A Rebel Rosé

A vibrant English rosé from Blackbook Winery, made from Pinot Noir grown at Crows Lane Estate in Essex. Ripe red cherry and wild strawberry meet bright acidity and a creamy, textured palate, with extended lees ageing bringing extra depth and savoury character. Dry, refreshing and considerably more serious than its pale pink colour might suggest.

Product Details

Bright and expressive, with ripe red cherry and wild strawberry at the centre, alongside a subtle creamy character from its extended time on lees. Fresh acidity keeps the wine energetic, while the long maturation gives it considerably more texture and depth than a conventional light rosé. Dry, characterful and particularly well suited to food.

How It's Made

I'd Rather Be a Rebel is made from Pinot Noir grown at Crows Lane Estate in Essex. The grapes are hand-picked into small crates and brought to Blackbook's Battersea winery, where they undergo a brief cold soak before being gently pressed and fermented in seasoned French oak. The wine then matures for 18 months on lees in a combination of tank and barrel, followed by a further six months in bottle before release.

About Blackbook Winery

Blackbook Winery
Battersea, London England Founded 2017

Blackbook Winery is an urban winery based beneath a railway arch in Battersea, London. Founded in 2017 by Sergio and Lynsey Verrillo, it works with carefully selected English growers to produce distinctive small-batch wines, with cool-climate Chardonnay and Pinot Noir at the heart of the project.

Winemaker Sergio Verrillo trained in Viticulture and Oenology at Plumpton College before working harvests in England, California, Burgundy, South Africa and New Zealand. At Blackbook, he combines traditional winemaking with a minimalist approach, using indigenous yeasts and low sulphur where possible to produce wines that express the character of the fruit rather than conforming to a single house style.
