Simpsons Wine Estate Kent Railway Hill Rosé 2023
Elegant English Rosé Wine from Kent’s Chalk Soils
Discover the refined elegance of Simpsons Wine Estate Kent Railway Hill Rosé 2023, a premium English rosé crafted entirely from 100% Pinot Noir grapes. Produced in the heart of Kent, this vibrant dry rosé showcases the exceptional terroir of the region, with the chalk-rich soils of the North Downs nurturing fruit of outstanding ripeness and purity.
Tasting Notes
The 2023 vintage opens with enticing aromas of fresh watermelon and lychee, underpinned by notes of peach and delicate stone fruit on the palate. Its pale hue and silky-smooth texture are characteristic of the estate’s meticulous winemaking, with a crisp acidity and refined dryness (Dry/Sweet value: 1). This rosé is as refreshing as it is elegant.
Vintage & Winemaking
The growing season began cool, with delayed vine development protecting the crop from spring frosts. A warm, dry summer followed, promoting excellent flavour concentration and ripeness. Despite early concerns over yields, the chalky soils retained just enough moisture to ensure an abundant and high-quality harvest.

| Winery | Simpsons Wine Estate is situated in the Elham Valley, an unspoilt seam in the North Downs of Kent, where the contours of the land, the climate and the soil are excellent for viticulture. The intensely lime-rich chalk soil forms part of the same chalk ridge that stretches from southern England to Burgundy. The Guyot-trained vines are trained on vertical foliage wires to help with canopy management. The vines are planted at a density of 4,200 vines per hectare with a range of Burgundian clones on either Fercal or 41B rootstocks. They are grown on south-facing slopes, ensuring heat accumulation during the day and cold air drainage at night. The vineyard is less than eight miles from the coast, providing a crucial maritime influence insulating the fruit against intense temperature variations. Grass cover crops between the rows encourage biodiversity within the vineyard. Pruning and harvesting occur by hand, and they are signed up for the Wine GB Sustainability Scheme. |
