Rosso - Red Sparkling: Sure to be your best new discovery in gastronomic pleasure and entertaining; A magnificent colour and flavour profile, this is the sparkler you haven't had and won't do without.
Tasting Notes
Intense ruby red; fragrant, delicate and very fruity on the nose with hints of blackberry and mulberry; lively, intense and creamy, fruity aftertaste of red berries and a dry finish.
Production Notes
While the Cabernet plays a central role in the crafting of this sparkling, Chambourcin is a principal player in the impressive colour. These varietals were tank fermented, the bases were blended and transferred to autoclaves, for a long Charmat process. The resulting Dry sparkling has excellent length and perlage.
Winemaker's Notes
The two red sparkling wines we crafted prior to this, the limited edition Canada 150 and our Zi' Mari, were both of the Extra-Dry profile. With Rosso, we've ventured into the Dry category; exhibiting that extra bit of residual sugar to suit the sweeter flavour profile; the effect of which has been a pronounced post-sip smile.
While Rosso can be decisively paired equally as an aperitif and with closing courses, there is a resounding levity to it that makes it ideal for the most informal approach.
