English Rose Wine

With an ideal climate suited to the production of delicious crisp fruity English Rose Wines. Coates & Seely In 2008, two old friends, Nicholas Coates and Christian Seely, embarked on a quest. They had between them successful careers in finance and winemaking, an unshakeable belief, and a burning desire to make, one day, a sparkling wine to rival the best in the world. Their adventure drew them to the ancient chalk downlands of Hampshire, in Southern England, to a secluded valley nestling quietly in the hills, where the chalk soils and south-facing slopes presented the perfect terroir. They planted vines and began their craft. A decade later, their award-winning sparkling wines are listed in royal palaces, Michelin-starred restaurants and iconic houses around the world.
