Cantillon Rosé

This is a serious Rosé

100% Pinot Noir Rosé

Well, frankly, we took a punt on barrel fermenting our first ever rosé. Thankfully, that paid off. But in true heretic style, we weren’t about to sit back and just repeat the same thing again, where’s the fun in that? We thought we’d make a Blowhorn on steroids, (figuratively, not literally). We used the same 500 litre puncheon (barrel) that we broke in with The Cut , our premium Chardonnay.  Back then, it was brand new- now it’s what we call ‘Second fill’ , meaning that the oak influence would be a little more than the Blowhorn. To shake things up even more, we macerated the grapes for a few extra hours to get a deeper hue and a little extra richness.

Why though? Well, as you may have realised, we always like trying something different. That’s not to say that we won’t ever make the Blowhorn style again, we bloody loved that, but we like to keep things interesting.

But the all important question is…How does it taste? Well, it’s richer, deeper, fuller-bodied with dark strawberry notes, a creamy vanilla hint and signature English freshness on the palate. If you like Bandol and rosé wines from that region, you’re in for a treat.

Pre-order now, likely to be shipped shortly after June 16th.

    We loved the Blowhorn Rosé so when I got the pre order offer for the Cantillon it was too tempting to resist. When the case arrived a bottle went straight in the fridge to try ASAP! Different in style to the Blowhorn but equally if not more delicious. We were struck by the beautiful colour, which is difficult to describe, a deep rose pink leaning towards crimson.
    On the nose, red summer fruits with a hint of vanilla and baking spices. On the Palate, fantastic structure, well balanced and integrated high acidity, dry with a certain tartness almost akin to a cherry tart as well as fresh strawberries and redcurrants, followed by a smooth persistent finish. Perfect to drink on its own on a summer evening but equally has the intensity to pair with many dishes including my favourite Tomato, Nectarine and Burrata salad. All this and the early order came with a free T-shirt ! As well as outstanding wine there is warm customer service which makes one feel part of something special, huge fan of The Heretics and can’t wait to see what they come up with next!

      Camilla! What a great review, really touched that you took the time to give us the full lowdown. We are always amazed at the responses that we get and this one is certainly up there. Much love, G&J x

    I was introduced to The Heretics by Sonal Clare the Som at The Wilderness in the Birmingham Jewelry Quarter. All three releases have been a delight. Hard to choose between this and Blowhorn. As I’ve drunk all my Blowhorn I don’t have to! It complements a sunny day and vastly imroved a grey one.

      John! A loyal heretic customer and we love you for it, much love to you and Brum, G&J
