Generous passion fruit, raspberry and a hint of orange zest won't be missed on the nose. Persistent bubbles dance in the flute, while bright tangy flavors of cranberry, raspberry, grapefruit are mellowed by a touch of vanilla on a pleasant palate that finishes with a clean, quenching acidity.

Wine Critic Reviews

"The 2021 Brut Rosé is terrific. Bright and chiseled, with lovely depth, the Brut Rosé is a versatile sparkler that will drink well as an apéritif or at the dinner table. Crushed flowers, mint, cranberry and white pepper build as this taut Rosé shows off its considerable charm. Dosage is 9 grams per liter." ~ Antonio Galloni's Vinous "Chiseled rock and ash aromas meet with earthy citrus and a hint of raspberry on the nose of this bottling. Strawberry and tangerine peel flavors meet with wet earth elements on the palate." ~ Wine Enthusiast
