1 THE SURPRISE
Sandford Orchards Katja Rosé Martinotti-style cider, 8%, £10.33, case of six, £47, sandfordorchards.co.uk
The best thing we tried all day. Light, crisp sparkling dessert apple cider with subtle fermented flavour from rondo grapes. A real gem, and ideal to sip in the garden with lunch.
2 ENGLISH FIZZ
Candover Brook Rosé, Hampshire, £38, candoverbrook.co.uk
Elegant, traditional method sparkling wine from Hampshire. Named after the chalk stream – featured on the label – that runs through the estate and is home to a few remaining white-claw crayfish.
3 SOUTH AFRICAN SPARKLY
Laborie Rosé, £15.89, southafrican wines.co.uk
This pale-blush Cap Classique traditional method wine has plenty of ripe berry and pomegranate flavour, and a honeyed finish. Enjoy with seafood dishes or some nibbles.
