Adrian Pike took over the Westwell estate from previous owner John Rowe in 2017. This single estate vineyard is located on the chalky soil slopes of the North Downs in Kent, and is planted with Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier and Ortega. After graduating from Plumpton College, Adrian gained experience at Davenport Vineyards, learning the importance, and sometimes difficulty, of organic viticulture in England. When he left to run Westwell he convinced viticulturist Marcus Goodwin (who was at Davenport for over 20 years) to join him.

The New Rose is made from the juice of the second pressings of the 2023 Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier grapes. This juice was then fermented in barrel and stainless steel using indigenous yeasts. Left to age for 10 months before blending and bottling, this is a complex, sapid rosé with elegant red apple, cranberry and pomegranate flavours.
