Dunleavy is a progressive Somerset winery located in the heart of the Yeo Valley in Wrington near Bristol. Made by the dynamic Ingrid Bates - runner-up as English Winemaker of the Year 2013. Much paler than the first vintage of 2017 sparkling red & brimming with youthful verve. Scents of raspberry and sage and flavours of summer fruit pavlova and snappy fruit.

This is a sparkling Rondo from Somerset with low dosage, low sulphur and low intervention, and it’s really quite delicious. The colour is light ruby red, the nose is a mixture of ripe red cherry, raspberry and hints of blackcurrant.

It has a  brisk, clean, dry palate, almost like a deep, dark rosé, with some lovely crunchy red fruit, tangy cranberry and pink grapefruit peel. Good long finish and it stands up really well to a meaty food pairing too.
