Profile:
Strawberry, black cherry, raspberry notes jump out of the glass with a hint of rose water in the background. The mousse is fine, and soft, with a rich, generous attack developing beautifully in the mouth into a clean, dry finish. Tantalising balance and generosity of fruit make this a great apéritif and food wine.
Food Pairing: Shellfish, Appetizers and snacks, Aperitif
What’s In It: 60% Pinot Noir, 40% Chardonnay
How It Was Made:
When making our (60%) Pinot Noir and (40%) Chardonnay Brut Rose we use the saignee method to achieve the colour. Juice is 'bled off' (saignee) from the press when it has extracted the right level of colour. The base wines are then cool fermented in steel vats to preserve their delicate fruit flavours followed by 72 months bottle ageing on its lees.
