Tasting Notes(2)
4.1
This wine is clearly overshadowed by De Sousa. But I still enjoyed it almost as much as the previous time. Intense and complex bouquet of baked red apple, caramel, brioche, grapefruits, and nuts. Long and delicious aftertaste with some mineral touch. It was nice to share my last bottle with others.
About
The base wine for this rosé spent 7 months in French oak 225 litres Taransaud barriques. The second fermentation started with the addition of grape sugar. Overall, it spent 45 months on lees. After the disgorgement, sparkling VSQ is filled ONLY with wine from other bottles belonging to the same lot, without adding sugar or any liqueur d'expedition. This is what Cà del Vént means by Pas Operé (unprocessed). Not to confuse with Pas dosé - no added sugar.
As far as I understand, the label depicts cracks on the granite block. They occur by the procedures used to quarry the stone.
