Tasting note
A joyous and sophisticated traditional-method sparkling wine. Bright cherry pink with a deliciously fruity nose, showing rose petal and lychee aromas. Candied grapefruit, crushed pink peppercorn and strawberry flavours make for a refreshing and enticing wine.
Viticulture
The 10-30 year old vines are grown in eroded soils that include a layer of ryolite and small patches of fertile loam. Early September harvest, keeping the grapes separated.
Vinification
Crafted by Champagne master Régis Camus, using Furmint, Hárslevelű, and Pinot Noir blend. Initial fermentation: 20% in oak. Secondary fermentation in cold cellars (March-August). Aged over 18 months on lees in bottle for depth and complexity.
Food Match
An impressive aperitif, especially when served with smoked salmon and caper canapés. Also works well with chicken caesar salad.
