Tasting note: Highly aromatic, fresh and lively berry fruit supporting the bright sorbet characters. The light sparkle adds lift while the aromatics are balanced with the soft mouth feel, the sweetness smooths out any astringency with fresh spritz and acidity. The sorbet lingers in the mouth leaving your palate fresh and alive.
Pressed and fermented cold, stopping once a balance was reached between alcohol, sweetness, acidity and bubbles. Soft, tea-rose pink hues. Inviting scents of Turkish delight, strawberry, nougat and rose. Grapey aromatics are turned up to 11 on the palate with its sherbety freshness and bubbly energy. The degree of sweetness is masterfully controlled, just right, allowing fresh acidity to clean the palate on the finish. Top summer drinking. 91 points.
