NV Grant Burge Sparkling Rose Pinot Noir Chardonnay

APPEARANCE Blushing savoury pink in hue. BOUQUET This wine reflects its Pinot Noir dominance with rich red fruit on both the nose and palate, accented by dusky florals and sweet spicy notes PALATE The palate is rich and generous with a decadently creamy mouth-feel, balanced with crisp acidity and vibrant fruit-driven flavours. This is a sparkling that adapts effortlessly to its environment and is a perfect complement to a range of foods. Pairing equally well with a fresh and zesty duck salad, a gourmet cheese platter with pate and rillettes, or a strawberry pavlova; this versatile wine is also a treat enjoyed on its own.

The Pinot Noir and Chardonnay fruit for this wine is picked in the cool of the night and gently pressed off skins immediately after harvest. The juice is clarified before being gently transferred to fermentation where the use of neutral yeast and low temperatures in stainless steel combine to preserve freshness and fruit flavour. The base wines are then stabilised and tiraged for secondary fermentation in bottle. The wine gently matures in bottle on full lees for an average of 28 months to build mouthfeel and complexity before disgorgement and liqueuring.
