Tasting Notes

Displays a beautiful pale salmon hue with fine, persistent bubbles. The nose reveals lovely raspberry aromas, wild strawberries, and citrus zest with delicate rose petal notes and a hint of pink pepper spice. On the palate, this elegant rosé offers pure, fresh flavors of white cherry, nectarine, and red berry fruits, complemented by chalky minerality and bright acidity. The finish is long and ethereal with subtle menthol notes and a lightly saline impression that leaves you wanting more.
