BEST TURNED OUT · ROSÉ OF CHAMPIONS · KENT PINOT MEUNIER
Named after the horse-racing prize awarded to the horse considered to look the best in the parade ring before a race, Best Turned Out is a fittingly elegant rosé from Yotes Court Vineyard in Kent. Made from 100% Pinot Meunier, this Provence-style English rosé is beautifully fresh and dry, with delicate rose-petal aromas, fresh raspberries and a silky palate of red berries and English rhubarb, finishing with crisp, refreshing acidity. Yotes Court owner Susannah Ricci has been involved in National Hunt racing since 2005, with her famous green-and-pink racing silks inspiring the visual identity of the wines. The vineyard is also a founder member of Sustainable Wines of Great Britain.
A beautifully turned-out English rosé with racing heritage in every detail — elegant, fresh and unmistakably Kentish.
