Country of origin:

Region:

East Anglia

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.

Ben Witchell

Ben Witchell's journey into wine began as curiosity and quickly became a lifelong passion. Leaving a career in IT, he retrained in Oenology and Viticulture at Plumpton College, graduating in 2012 with a first-class degree and top student awards. Early experience in Beaujolais introduced a more intuitive, creative style of winemaking, before he returned home to establish Flint Vineyard. Based in Norfolk, Ben has developed Flint into a benchmark for modern English wine, crafting vibrant, refined wines from sustainably grown, aromatic varieties.

"This experimental, Charmat-method sparkling rosé has been a roaring success for Flint. We're trying to showcase lots of sustainable, heritage, aromatic varieties that are so well suited to England at their best, including Pinot Noir, Rondo, Reichensteiner, Pinot Meunier, Cabernet Cortis and Bacchus." - Ben Witchell, Winemaker.
