Description
British Rosé can easily give a popular Provence Rosé a run for its money. This dry, pale style of wine, typically famous in regions like Provence and the Loire Valley, finds a unique expression in England. The 2021 Folc English Rosé from Kent is a crisp and fruity wine, known for its delicate, fruit-forward taste with notes of strawberries and cherries. This wine not only showcases the unique terroir harnessed by Kent winemakers but also embodies a modern mindset focusing on quality, sustainability, and inclusivity.
Cheese Pairings
These are three of my favourite Folc English Rosé and British cheese pairings:
- White Lake Dairy Driftwood: Intensely rich, smooth, and creamy, developing to a full-flavoured, tangy finish. This cheese perfectly matches the dry wine with high acidity, creating a delicious flavour explosion.
- White Lake Dairy Rachel: An unusual semi-firm alpine-style goat’s cheese with a nutty, creamy, caramel popcorn flavour. This cheese is more mellow than Driftwood and complements the wine’s flavours beautifully.
- Colston Bassett Stilton: Not your usual cheese and wine pairing, but it works! The creamy, salty cheese with bursts of blue mould brings out the red fruit flavours in the wine, making it taste even more fruity.
History and Winemaking
British wine has gained popularity in recent years, known for its delicate, crisp, and fruit-forward taste. Folc English Rosé exemplifies this trend. The wine is produced with a modern mindset, focusing on quality, sustainability, and inclusivity. One of the co-founders, Elisha, is one of the very few female BAME co-founded UK wine producers, and she makes a fantastic Rosé wine. The winery’s ethos and dedication to quality are evident in every bottle.
Tasting Notes
The 2021 Folc English Rosé is crisp and fruity, with delicate notes of strawberries and cherries. The wine’s high acidity and dry style make it an excellent pairing for a variety of cheeses, enhancing their flavours and creating a harmonious tasting experience.
