Event Description

Indulging in a dedicated rosé wine tasting offers a spectacular sensory journey through the vibrant spectrum of cool-climate pink winemaking. This experience beautifully contrasts the delicate nuances of still rosés with the complex texturing of sparkling bottles.
 
Beginning with the still selections, tasters are introduced to pale, Provence-style shades bursting with aromas of crunchy red berries, wild strawberries, and white peach. Crafted primarily from grapes like Pinot Noir, Cinsault, Grenache, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon or Malbec, these wines offer a crisp, refreshing acidity and a clean, mineral finish that pairs excellently with light seasonal dishes.
 
The tasting then elevates to the sparkling flights, where the visual display of persistent, fine columns of bubbles enhances the salmon-pink hues in the glass. Traditional-method sparkling rosés introduce an entirely new layer of complexity; the extended time spent aging on yeast lees contributes sophisticated notes of baked brioche, shortbread, and toasted almonds beneath the bright fruit profile. On the palate, the aggressive, mouth-watering acidity is perfectly softened by the creamy mousse, leaving a lingering, elegant finish.
 
Side-by-side, this tasting effortlessly highlights how the same red grape varieties can be masterfully transformed into both a refreshing, tranquil summer sipper and an opulent, celebratory glass of world-class fizz!
