WINEMAKING
This blushing Rooster has added a little sparkle and celebration to the flock. Hand-harvested Malbec grapes (2018 vintage) from the vineyards of the Okanagan Valley. The grapes were given a very short period of skin contact to enhance aromas and flavours and provide the very delicate rosé colour. The base wine was fermented and aged in a stainless-steel tank. This traditional method sparkling wine spent 18 months aging ‘sur lie’ in our sparkling wine cellar. The wine was disgorged June through August 2020 and a dosage of Pinot Noir juice and Syrah wine (totaling 4.5ml per bottle) was added back to the wine for added colour, complexity and a touch of balancing sweetness. Limited production of 6,500 bottles.

FLAVOUR PROFILE
As the wine is poured look for tiny bubbles rising through a copper straw coloured backdrop with an ever so delicate rosé hue. The bouquet of crab apple, cranberry, rhubarb and a touch of yeast and bread gently escapes from the glass. This lively, exciting sparkling wine is light to medium-bodied with a lovely expanding mousse. Flavours of cranberry, pink grapefruit and a touch of yeast dance on the palate. Notes of rhubarb, tangy berries and yeast linger on the refreshingly dry finish. Enjoy a little sparkle while the wine is young and fresh.

SERVING SUGGESTIONS
Serve chilled at 10° to 12°C. A traditional method sparkling wine for the best of times. Enjoy on its own or serve with fresh breads dipped into an Emmenthal and Gruyere cheese fondue; baked salmon wrapped in puff pastry; pan-fried trout; smoked salmon appetizers; freshly baked quiche; crab cakes; creamy Brie and Camembert with water crackers.
