Winemakers Notes Sparkling Rosé 2020 A pale copper/rose gold coloured wine with a fine mousse and steady stream of small bubbles in the glass. A complex and enticing nose of rose petal, dried apricot, baked apple, cranberry fruit cake and ginger spice. A fruit forward, light and elegant fruit quality on the front of the palate, but with a depth to the fruit reflective of extended tank maturation and two years on lees. Full of fresh red and stone fruits like cranberry, white peach and apricot, but with a deeper baked apple and sweet spice adding complexity and richness. A pristine acidity, gently balanced with a low dosage. A long and evolving finish to this wine. The fresh and fruit forward qualities of this wine make it most suitable for fish dishes, with its depth of flavour allowing it to stand up to richer styles like monkfish or smoked salmon. I’d recommend trying this with a range of medium to strong cheeses, and even some spicey Asian food like Thai fish cakes. I always like sparkling roses with sweeter foods too, especially creamy fruit cakes.
