Expression 2014 is a winner of International Wine Challenge (IWC) Silver medal 2021.
“Oh, what a sumptuous feast Expression 2014 is! I use the word feast because Jonica’s wines are typically vast, gastronomic and incredibly food-friendly. Brisk, tingling acidity, and cranberry tartness lead to soft waves of ripe red cherries. There’s even a hint of that earthy, almost dark chocolate complexity that you get from excellent Pinot Noir that really surprised me, and the gently spiced finish kept me reaching for another sip… Refined and elegant throughout. This is a must-try.”
“This luxurious new wine from the excellent Fox & Fox is made in the Saignée method, where the dark pink juice is bled of after a brief period of skin contact. The result is often a deeper and richer style of rosé, as is the case with the aptly called Expression 2014. It’s a blend of 65% Pinot Noir, 25% Chardonnay and 10% Pinot Meunier that has spent at least four years ageing on the lees.
The colour is stunning, but the nose is an absolute thing of beauty. It’s probably the most Pinot Noir-smelling rosé I’ve ever come across, with vivid, vibrant aromas of cherry, raspberry, perfumed floral hints and some deeper spiced pastry notes.
And the palate – oh, what a sumptuous feast it is! I use the word feast because Jonica’s wines are typically vast, gastronomic and incredible food-friendly. Brisk, tingling acidity, and cranberry tartness lead to soft waves of ripe red cherries. There’s even a hint of that earthy, almost dark chocolate complexity that you get from excellent Pinot Noir that really surprised me, and the gently spiced finish kept me reaching for another sip.
This was a real treat for the senses – packed full of character, but also refined and elegant throughout. This is a must-try.”

Light notes of raspberry and redcurrant with a zesty lift of pink grapefruit on the finish, this is an
elegant salmon pink rosé . It offers bready notes initially on the nose which lift to reveal fruitier
notes below and ends with a long, refreshing finish.
