Winery Review: Rosé salmon with copper reflections. Slow rising fine bubble that forms “lace” and “rosary”. In the nose is complex and elegant with red fruit, citric, exotic, fresh flowers, and notes of dry fruits and dry flowers. Fresh, gentle, and alive. Perfectly integrated “perlage” with serious and subtle flavors of dry fruits, pomegranate and lemonade. Long lasting scent of flowers and herbs.

My Thoughts: A very orange rose. I would say more of a peach than salmon. Smells of dried peaches and apricots, floral, hints of yeast and citrus fruits. There is nice acid on the palette at first especially. Tastse of lemonade with florla notes. Fairly short finish. Overall a very tasty and satisfying sparkling wine.
