Join to read it and the restThe 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.
