This wine features a charming bouquet that blends strawberry, red apple, and grapefruit, with delightful hints of buttered bakery adding depth. It's fresh and well-balanced, making it effortlessly enjoyable. Representing good value for the price, it's a commendable selection.
The house's flagship rosé, 100 percent Pinot Noir from organically farmed vines planted in 1999, lightly macerated for colour before fermentation in stainless steel, then bottle-aged on its lees for roughly 24 months ahead of disgorgement and dosage. The back-label lot code '04-10-23' reads as a 4 October 2023 disgorgement or release date, consistent with a 2021 base spending about two years sur lattes. The 2021 Penedès vintage was uneven - drought through spring, mild summer, September rain disrupting harvest - producing lighter-bodied, fruit-forward wines with a firm acidic spine, a profile that suits sparkling Pinot well. The result here is a brut rosé that trades opulence for cut and freshness.
